About Me (In My Own Words)
I am 75 years old and have a mitral biological valve implanted. The operation was in open heart (10/16/2023) and I currently feel fine.
My concern was what alternative I will have when the valve deteriorates (average life of 12 years). I would like someone to answer me about that and the latest developments in this matter.
However, I'm getting better every day and have returned to my mountain hiking activities. I receive a lot of information from the people in this chat and I contribute what I know. It just so happens that my professional activity as a physicist has been medical devices, both in design and inspection for obtaining the European sales mark. I'd like to thank Adam for this wonderful blog.Thanks a lot.
