I had my second open heart surgery. This one was different. I had a TAVR put in 4 years ago that had stenosis already and an aortic valve replacement in 2007. To do this new procedure my surgeon did the Bentall procedure (aortic root repair), removed the two bad valves, used the Konect device with a valve inside it. All in all a miracle of wonders. There is not much on line about a valve in valve removal with a new open heart valve put in. Anyone faced with this, I am glad to share my experience. Now 3 weeks post op. I'm 66.

Debra Keife Amazing! I hope there are advancements by the time I need to have mine replaced. At this point, due to my aortic aneurysm, they will need to do open heart again.

Ed Eller I'm glad things are going well for you. The advances in heart repair technology are incredible! I am now 8 weeks post my own Bentall procedure and feeling well, but I didn't have to deal with the valve-in-valve issue.
