Seems to have been decided by Dr Israel George at NY Presbyterian that my 7 year old Sorin Mitroflow valve must be replaced. For various reasons I am not a candidate for TAVR. Dr George is recommending a mechanical valve this time vs another tissue one. I've heard these valve make a ticking sound others can hear 24 hours a day. Is that true? Is it really obnoxious? Is monitoring the coumaden level a bear or is it simple? I'd appreciate any feedback.

I have just found out that my Sorin Mitroflow Aortic Pericardial Heart Valve installed in November of 2014 may need to be replaced after only 7 years. Apparently these valves are deteriorating much more quickly than promised. Has anyone else had a similar issue with Sorin Valves? I am a candidate for TAVR so will be researching that option.
Miriam St.Clair Sorry to hear about your valve and will be interested to hear about your research into TAVR.
