Curtis, how are you doing? What type of valves do you have? I have a bovine aortic valve because of fluid dynamics in that location and a porcine mitral valve.

What a story, Curtis! Best look at it as a good sign that you've made it 25 yrs and that your surgery date is so close to the last one - must mean you'll be good to go for another 25 yrs. Not bad. Good luck.

I just read your story. I actually turned 54 today and am 9 weeks post op . My surgeon said mechanical as well because they last a lot longer than the tissue which from what he said has about a 10 year life span ( and I hope to be around longer than that). The valve he uses is called the On-X Heart Valve. You may want to research them. When is your surgery? Good luck with everything

Curtis Jones Thanks Michelle, yes l to am thinking the on x valve . I've done well on warfarin for 25 years, and I ... Read more

Curtis Jones Thanks Michelle, yes l to am thinking the on x valve . I've done well on warfarin for 25 years, and I certainly don't want to be doing this every 10 year's

Michelle Maring My levels are still up and down not by much we are still fine tuning the warfarin but I don't blame you not wanting to do it again in 10 years. Seems the older the patient the longer the recovery. A family member of mine is 80 and had his valve replaced recently and it took him 3 months to get to where I was in 6 weeks so it is food for thought
Best of luck

Hey Curtis, Great to meet you and welcome to our community! At 25 years post-op, I'd say you got some great use from your last valves. Congratulations on the extended warranty. If you need anything as you prepare for the sequel, please let me know. Adam (patient and website founder) P.S. We're kind of neighbors. I grew up in Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks and then moved to Redondo Beach.
