Good Afternoon Robert. Dr. Accola replaced my bicuspid aortic valve on October 11th, 2016. He is a wonderful caring person and his staff is topnotch. I went home four days after surgery. You are going to love the rooms for the heart surgery patients. It seems like such a small thing, but a wall of glass overlooking the lake, lifted my spirits. Good Luck, you are in good hands.

Robert Harris Thanks Carmen.

Robert - here we both are. Tomorrow at this time we will be both in the middle of our proceedures 1 mile apart from each other - you at Fla Hospital, and I at Orlando Regional Medical Center. My surgery is at 7am. As I am wheeled into the pre-op room I will be lifting you up in prayer that God is close to you, comfort you, and have his mighty hands at your side through the procedure. Hopefully I will post something in few days from my hospital bed. Hang in there brother - we will be doing this at the same time in the same city. Your surgeon, and mine are two of the best guys in town. This will be a good day for us tomorrow. Bob.

Craig Gay Prayers for a successful surgery and managed pain afterwards.

Bob Jensen Thank Both of you - I am getting ready to get in the car and head to the hospital this early in the morning - completely an emotional wreck. You all are such an inspiration to me, and bet to all of you in your healing, battles, and living a life of joy!

Robert Harris Thanks Kevin. I opted after much thought on the tissue valve. I believe the choice is ultimately up to you. You must be comfortable with your own decision. Best wishes.

KEVIN RYAN Robert, like others, I have gone around and around with the issue of valve type...paralysis by analysis :-). What initially was a "slam dunk" for mechanical has become one between tissue and the Ross procedure. Regarding tissue valve; not so concerned about re-op as much as mismatch/hemodynamic properties and subsequent effects on a strained LV. Glad you are doing well!

You are in phenomenal hands with Doctor Accola. A very competent and caring professional. Florida Hospital Orlando and all the people who will care for you after your surgery, will go beyond your expectations. They will have you on your feet and back to your life sooner than you think.

Robert: Thanks for your post. What made you decide in favor of tissue valve...I understand anticoag issue...but aren't you concerned with the re-operation issue? I am leaning toward On-X mechanical valve. My procedure is scheduled for Feb. Also, I understand Florida Hospital is Seventh Day Adventist. They (Adventists) have a pretty good understanding of lifestyle medicine and disease reversal. Do you find this also? Thanks, Kevin.

Robert Harris After speaking with my surgeon, I choose the tissue valve. Mainly due to the coumadin factor, but also due to the advances in valve-in-valve procedures when it comes time for a replacement. The key seems to be keeping up with your follow-up appointments and replacing the valve on time. I think you are wise to choose the On-X valve if going mechanical. That would be my choice also. I hear very good things about Florida Hospital too.

Andrew Wagner I had the same concern. First I was pro mechanical, then decided on tissue after conversations with several surgeons. The key reason was to avoid the blood thinner and knowing that advances for a possible second valve replacement are on going at a rapid pace.
