Hi Rachelle , Welcome I had emergency open heart surgery during covid times . No visitors and not allowed off the ward . I had a severely leaking mitral valve and was in a very bad way . My surgeon choose the best valve for me . I have a St. Judes’s mitral valve . The sound of the valve is a comfort because I know my heart is beating and that I am alive . I very nearly wasn ‘t .
