Deepak's Journal

Hi All , has any one had low ejection fraction post AVR? My EF was 53 first echo 6 math post AVR and then 40 to 45 second echo 12mths post AVR Wondering? no symptoms . My surgery was done 28 April 2022. Onyx valve plus redo of the by pass

Hi All I hope everyone is doing fine. Had a question 1. Is there anyone in the blog who has had a surgery in UK. And if so who was/ is your surgeon. Any one operated by Mr. Shahzad Raja Regards Deepak

Hi All Did anyone experience back pain 5 months post surgery . Not severe ones but pain comes almost every evening recently . Once I lay on bed it feels much better. Not taking pain meds

Guys I did my 4 months echo and come to realise that the David’s procedure done on me has not achieved the desirable outcome. One of my valve has prolapsed . However my EF is 55% but my left atrium is severely dilated. My surgeon is suggesting to replace my native bi cuspid valve with ONX. Has anyone come across a second surgery within 5 months. My surgeon says we can do echo every month and think of doing the surgery first quarter next year. Can Ross procedure be on the table . Bearing in mind I have graft in my ascending aorta due to aortic root replacement and aneurysm removal. What is the life of a pulmonary valve ?

Dear all Firstly thanks for ongoing support. On nov 9th I will complete 4 months post OHS for David’s procedure with double by pass. I still feel my heart and the graft pulsating however abit lesser than before. I also feel a wheezing sensation on the lower left front and back below my ribs . Does anyone feels the same Thanks in advance
