Hi Michele, Unfortunately I can not track every journal on this site. We are working on some new search capabilities to enable this. But, that will take some time to develop and implement. Sorry, I do not have a quick fix for you.

Michele, Check out Billy G's journals. He recently had a great AV repair result with Dr. Trento: http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/journals/user/billyg

Anyone have aortic valve replacement and aorta/repair or root replacement and was under 115lbs at time of your surgery? How did your body hold up and do during surgery and after on recovery?

Any have trouble or prolonged trouble from being on the bypass machine too long? Mainly bleeding issues?

I was on bypass twice during the same surgery due to my repair being a difficult fix. So a total of 6 hrs but no problems with bleeding at all.

Sophia Ridley

No problems to report here either. Had transfusion but that was to support my blood pressure and increase volume as I was "dry" in surgery. Make sure you're very well dehydrated in the days before and keep up your iron levels as low haemoglobin is quite common post any surgery... Read more.
