Hi Hari, best wishes to you on your upcoming surgery. I am having a similar surgery (hemisternotomy) on April 10th using the exact same valve as you. This was recommended by my surgeon.
Hari will be thinking of you tomorrow and wishing you an uneventful recovery! You got this!
Sending prayers to you for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery 🙏

I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis due to a congenital bicuspid valve in November 2022 and have been under a watchful waiting program with the doctors in Apollo- Chennai India .My parameters ( valve area / gradient ) have recently deteriorated and I am experiencing some level of fatigue....

Hari, best of luck to you. I had my aortic valve replaced on January 25th, just 3 1/2 weeks ago. It is a great improvement. I didn't know that breathing was this easy.
Had mine done in September. Not as bad as I imagined it would be. Ask lots of questions, get comfortable with your surgeon, it's amazing what they can do now. All the best !
