I just had a mechanical valve replacement 2 months ago. I chose that over the tissue valve since a tissue one was only going to last 10 years. Since I’m 55 years old.... I didn’t want to have another surgery in 10 years. I was only in the hospital for five days after the surgery. And I’m starting cardiac rehab in two days. Everything went well with my surgery!!!!!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Were you diagnosed a long time before you needed surgery? I'm 64 and was told my stenosis is moderate. I've also had a heart murmur that I was told was benign since my 20's. I have almost no symptoms just had a bit of slight slight pressure in my chest a few times. I feel fortunate the doctor suggested an echo cardiogram as a "baseline" and was a bit surprised with results. I now am seeing a cardiologist. He told me based on my echo and listening to my heart that his guess is I have a year or two before needing a valve.
@@amyintn2686 how are you now? my girl friend just had bio valve replacement couple years ago in her 20s
@@jefjefjef hi thanks for asking. Recently had yearly echo and now Borderline severe. Saw a cardiac surgeon and he said I’m not bad enough to have surgery as I also still have no symptoms. Said because of my age and that I’m otherwise in great health, he would only recommend a pig valve not tavr- which is what I had hoped for. TAVR sounded so much less invasive than open heart.
How much cost..sir..tellme
Coumadin for the rest of your life will be a major game changer.
Dr. Trento was my dad's main cardio doc back in the early 90s when he underwent a heart transplant. Good memories of a good, caring, professional doctor. Thank you!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I wanted to know about mitral valve replacement for a 45 year old woman.His mitral valve needs to be replaced very soon, but I don't know which one would be best.
Please help with information on which one would be better and if it would have complications.
I am a biomedical engineering student and this video was very informative. Thank you for you're thorough explanation.
I felt like I was in a classroom & if he was to give a pop quiz I would get an A. I have a mechanical aortic,it will b 16yrs old 7/22. It replaced a tissue valve. May God bless this surgeon.
Hi Zoya! We loved hearing how this video with Dr. Trento was helpful in educating you!
I had mitral w pig tissue done 41/2 years ago. Before surgery felt like I wouldn’t live. Now care on a normal life at 81.
And now I know thanks you answered a lot of questions I had. Best video on this topic I found. Your a smart man
Doctor iam really impressed the way you put forward your experience how to treat Valve replacements without any flaws over the years .
Incoming years you would definitely do more wonders by getting the patients treated successfully and live a very healthy and happy life
Thank you Sir! This helped me so much for my studying. I was looking everywhere for this to understand faster. :)
Marvelous invention and marvelous medical teams that install these valves. I recently had the aortic valve installed, and believe it will help lengthen my lifetime.
How much cost ..sir..tell me..
THANK YOU...very informative presentation..!!
Very clear explanations. THANK YOU!!
Thank you very well explained and reduces my fear of what I am facing.
Good presentation! Thank you.
Dr. Trento did my last heart surgery in 1997 its been 25yrs today with the same valve & no issues. If it wasn’t for him i wouldn’t be here right now 4 open heart surgeries in 9 months at the age of 7.
I will have a Mitral replacement very soon, this will be my third open heart surgery, thank you for the very good explanation.
We pray for speedy and successful recovery
Why THREE??? I'm scheduled for surgery in October, they dont know if they will do repair or replacement yet but I'm 60 so the tissue valve doesnt sound good if I'd have to go back thru all this again in 10 years and not have the insurance I do now at work
@@HobbyOrganist for your age tissue valve is best for you.
You don't require to be on blood thinners.
@@prakashchhetry8428 I'm already on blood thinner since I had Afib back in January- Eliquis, the issue is all Ive read is the tissue valves might be expected to last 10 years, I dont want to go thru this again at age 70 and with whatever I might have for insurance since I wont be working at my present job then and it has great insurance that covers everything 100% after the $2500 deductable, once I reture from that job that insurance wont be there any more, I'd be on something like medicare and all I hear about that is how bad it is.
Victorian Sculptures well, 1978 the first one when I was 19 it was not successful I passes out!,, and 1979 the second one and the big one went very well. Now I am 65 and already on blood thinner.
I have a aortic stenosis and a very high percentage blockage on 3 heart arteries.
I have decided to let nature take it's course because I believe I have a better existence just beyond the veil. As much as I will miss my friends and relies here, I also care for the grief of loved ones that will miss me in this material world.
Meeting with my family and friends on the other side is highly engaging.
I am not religious, I am spiritual.
I am excited to reunite with my higher spirit family and will not deviate from my path.
Wishing each and everyone of you a blessed path while being mindful, centered and full in self awareness at the trailing end of this life's journey.
May you live long and prosper. Pass in peace and contentment.
Excellent video. Should be shown to anyone needing the surgery.
I was diagnosed with aortic valve regurgitation and my biggest wish in life is that I would see my 3 years old daughter celebrate her 18 th birthday.... moreover I have learnt to be greatful for every second am living.
Thanks, I had a mithral valve fixing surgery 4 months ago in Helsinki Meilahti hospital. I´m back at work and overall life is better than before. I really appreciate the technology and if I think of the operation done in my chest it´s simply mind blowing!
you have just changed bro. I have changed both aortic and mitral before 27 yrs in kathmandu nepal and its working well till this time.
How much its cost sir for the valve repair?
Very helpful video. Thank you!!!

THANK YOU for such an informative video! I have a hard decision which type to choose. I am 54 years old now, I had a repair of coarctation of the aorta at age 5 and have enjoyed an active life all this time. I have recently had a workup and will need a replacement aortic valve due to severe stenosis found. Thank you for helping me with your knowledge.

Very good
Thanks for excellent explanation. Very clear
I had a tvar for the aortic valve in 2016 and chose the cow leaflet valve not realizing it would fail after six years. i am now in trouble and have to have a valve replacement and have had a T.E.E yesterday and tomorrow the Dr. will do a cath. to determine what they are going to do. I am eighty years old now and in good health my size valve is 25mm.
Thank you very much ! Greetings from Amsterdam OLVG (were i live near by) . Very well explained !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video
Thank you doctor.. i had MVP replacement machanic 15 year ago.. im still doing fine but sometime i face problem like mini stroke. but MVP replacement still working fine.. i got treatment im good. My question should have again MVP replacement again in future. Im 26 year .
Thank you. I have a 20-year-old who has an opening between the ventricles and a defect in the valve, the doctor decided to replace the valve with a mechanical one through a chest opening operation, knowing that he does not complain of any symptoms. I am from Iraq and I am very afraid for him, he is my only son. Please reassure me, thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm 30 yo diagnosed with critical stenosis of biscupid aortic valve... I was implanted with on x valve (aorta) I'm now 1 year after surgery and feel a lot better than before ....the main issue I have after surgery is a bit of anxiety ...and valve is a bit loud but don't bother me too much ...I hope to live to old age...I'm on warfarin so bleeding is a risk
Hi David, I need please your experience as I'm 36 Years old man, Diagnosed with severe aortis Stenosis due to heavy calcification plus congenital bicuspid aortic valve, also now I have regurgitation in the aortic and mitral valves, now i get symptoms of light headed, diziness, mild chest pain, mild shoulder pain, i was called by the public system ( a senior registral ) does the operation to do the operation just before Easter 2017 but I wasn't ready as a doctor told me that it is better to do the surgery by a catheter ( TAVI ) and to wait for the private health insurance sorted which sould take another 10 months ( The only difference that the I can choose the surgeon that I like to do the surgery ) as I live in Australia. so my question is Have you done yours through TAVI or just conventional open heart surgery? do you think is it better to do it ASAP or it doesn't matter also does it make difference to do it in summer or winter? did you get a tissue valve or a mechanical one? I asked you because you have similar circumstances Thanks for your time , Bassem
Hello pal am from Banglore (India) i had AVR surgery last 4months back and I had implanted a mechanical valve even am Taking warfarin tablet my question is that everything ok in ur health condition and suggest me how to maintain PT INR target & tl me ur food routine and sum other important things to maintain ma health condition
thank you doctor.
33 years old, just had mechanical aortic valve placed. Sucks I have to take Coumadin forever now when my hobbies are motorcycle riding, working on cars/bikes, etc.
But I guess I should be grateful.
Really appreciate your attitude Mr. B! Yes, being grateful to be alive is a worthy trade-off. Our thoughts are with you!
dont be hard on ur self. true, im 38 like me and u have to take pils like me but did anyone warned you that organic cow or pig valve can say godbay in 6 years? trust me u or someone else choozed good. take pils. do blood test and forget about failing valve😄
When will TAVR be made available for regurgitation, specifically for those who have a bicuspid valve. Appreciate there are technical challenges and risks with this procedure as well.
Nice presentation thanks sir ji
All points are amazing 👏
Great to hear you enjoyed the video about heart valve replacement options!!!
Great presentation.
May the lmighty God help all who come acros this. Your excellancy laid apath to survival.
Thank you somuch.
So nice of you! Thanks!
Dr.

Very good information
Am 61 years old I had mechanical valve replacement in 1991
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing Salum!!!
U inspired me thank u I have my open heart' surgery
Hello Doctor. I am a 28 year old man and I have a congenital anomaly under the aortic valve. Do you recommend removing the membrane by surgery? Or that the catheter is useful in my case !! Please help and apologize for the low level of writing language. Thank you so much
I have a few questions. my son has a heart ratio of 20 and 2 leaking valves. we just now we're told that they are going to refer him to USC. Dr. said that they can repair valves through the groan. is this the valve that they would use. my son is 35. he's had 2 echos and been suffering for the past 5 years.
Please let me know if the Groin new technique as good for us or not as I'm 36 years old man and I have similar problems Thanks
God bless 🙏 you sir
What is the validity of mechanical valve?
I'm 35 and about to undergo my 2nd open heart surgery. 6 years ago I had an ascending aortic aneurysm treated. Now my aortic valve needs to be replaced. I thought we'd be able to 3d printing valves with stem cells by now...
how many chance people live?????
if two valve replace
how much for trans catheter valve change ?
I have this valve now. Im 27years old. So far so good. :)
What is the prognosis after valve replacement
Which valve sir? The last one???
The ome in the middle
Why to have surgery if we can have now TAVR procedure where you do not need to open chest?
TAVR cannot be used for mechanical valves and mechanical valves are mostly recommended for people below 60
I only wished these videos were around when I had to make a decision.
Thanks for the kind words about our videos! Much appreciated!
what does it mean when you have a hole in your heart because I have a hole in my heart but I am algeric to mental
Oh
Please do have your kardiolog doctor to explain it. I guess its a leak between chambers. Thats what they suspected before they found mithral valve issue in my heart.
Is Lt possible in india
Which artificial valve is better??
Im very happy i have onx mechanical arotic valve now for ten years . Lot less warfaran needed Best choice ive ever made. Had surgery at St. Lukes in Houston .
TAVR?
Hello mam ap ne heart valve trepmant ka jo samane botaia kaha melaga ,
Ap ne jo seg ka nam botaia kaha melga.
you can also hear the mechanical valve tick when its opening and closing. Keep that in mind.
My one is quite load and i have to get another one replaced.
@@MegaShanes1 goodluck my friend. May god be with you

My son is 8years old. He is bicupsid aortic valve with severe AR. Ross operation or Aortic valve replacement which will best for his whole life. Open heart surgary Or micro surgary?
You say there is a difference between a hospital doing 10 surgeries per year vs one doing hundreds per year. Which one would you recommend?
Hi Jerome, Great question. It think Dr. Alfredo Trento is sharing the idea that the more a surgeon does a procedure, the more familiar they become with its nuances and intricacies. Like many things, the more you do it, the better you get. I think they call that the "learning curve". I hope that helps!
What if the outer fibre ring could be increased in diameter without disturbing the valves so that it fits snugly into position
how long to heal ?
depends on your age and the state of your health prior to surgery. My husband was released from the hospital after having only 4 nights, he was admitted on Monday,surgery on Tuesday and home on Friday. So, only 4 nights in the hospital for him. It went in his favor how young and fit he was prior to surgery. 10 days after surgery we were walking 1.5 miles per day while he pushed a 24 month old in a stroller the entire way. he was not a smoker and had never smoked, and was quite thin...6'1 and 165 pounds. The longest to heal would be the sternum which they saw in half and then use wire to pull the 2 sides back together and twist the wire. Kinda like heavy bread twist ties. Those wires stay in forever...on a thinner guy like my husband he has one wire that really hurts if you touch on it too hard..Make sure to not be a fat,smoking, couch potato..makes all the difference.
What is better valve for tavr? Threre three valve...plz.tell how much cost extra extra cost...what is the best for tavr? Plz...reply...sir....i m a arotic vale replacement patient...tavr...plz hlp sir tellme.....hurry
How many years does this valve last for people who use it?
10 to 15 year
Are there literally no published statistics on which surgeons are competent and which are incompetent?
I was just diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis and it troubles me that I had to do my own homework on what this is because my doctors has told me absolutely no-then but told me not to worry about it because its mild Narrowing. OK but what will be done about it. They gave no comment. I have been floating as tho I'm going to pass out. I told the doctor and she said just go lay down and elevate my legs then monitor my blood pressure. That was it. What do I need to do about this ?
Not all patients that have aortic valve stenosis require valve replacement. There’s different degrees of it. Typically includes shortness of breath, swelling, chest tightness, and chest pain. Aortic Valve stenosis is quite common and is normal part of the aging process. Do what the doctor says, Keep blood pressure low, and legs elevated because when you legs are in dependent position, the heart works much harder. You probably just have a mild form of it which doesn’t require any surgical intervention at this time. Make sure you get your physicals done every year.
I have stenosis for over 15 years. They keep monitoring every 2 years. With an echo they can see the bloodflow speed, the surface area and the backflow. Nothing to worry about. When the day comes you will have options to live a long life.
What would be some of the complications after the valve is being replaced.
embolism, and hemolytic rbc (especially mechanical valve)

Don't take the risk. Just improve your diet and reduce your cholesterol.

I have just been diagnosed with heart valve problems & i am now worried i would like to know what caused the problem & is there any cure ,like would excercise help to strengthen the valve or is once it has happened the only cure is surgery, if any one can advise me i would like to know & why has it developed with me. 20years ago i had a triple heart by-pass & have been perfectly okay since but now this has developed but why.

@@bryanjary9691 Hi mate. I'm about to have valve replacement surgery next week. I am 54 and leaning towards the mechanical valve option. Can you tell me please how loud is the sound that people hear and if managing warfarin tablets and blood tests have led to a major change in lifestyle? Thank you.
@@69columbus I can only hear mine through a stethoscope. It has been seven years for me now . Just a distant memory. Warfarin has had no impact on my life whatsoever. I eat what I want and I drink alcohol in moderation four or five days of the week.
I see god in him, my mother is going Mitral Valve Replacement tomorrow..
OK
Mujhe bhi kara nai
I need valve I've have a leaking valve I don't have very many symptoms except when I have sex and then it feels like an elephant sitting on my chest I don't want to die I don't know how to go about finding the the best doctors
Valve lasting
How have we not invented a better mechanical valve that doesn't cause blood clotting?
💯
I'm as strong as you are , and as smart as you. Why do you play me ...... I know that you have been playing me .
I'm 18 with a mechanical on-x valve and an aortic stem graft. I sound like a clock
Seteniater I am 47 that's what I sound like
I woried because the valve become louder it its normal?
be thankful you still making noise
How long a person can survive after aortic valve surgery..??
My husband had an aortic valve replacement at age 38. He had open heart surgery The murmur was discovered at about age 12 during a sports physical, the dr. said the only thing to do at that time was to lead a quiet life and not stress the heart by playing sports. That was in 1969. My husband did all sports and was good at them. He never felt bad until late 1994 when he was getting bronchitis constantly and started to need naps and got tired easily. So, he has done great since 1995. He has a yearly echo and dr visit, he has to take coumadin..that is a pain in the butt. This metal valve will last his entire life. They would not do a pig valve as they only last 5 years in a man as young as my husband. he got a metal St Jude's valve. This valve will extend your life..so you will not die any sooner. Obviously, you will eventually die of something..car crash, heart attack, drug overdose. My husband was told his heart could easily last til he is 80 as he is now. Indefinitely would be a good answer.Obviously if you have the surgery when you are 80 you will live shorter than a person who has it done at age 35.
Allah knows very well dear
wow really!

Why do you still give your patients warfarin? There are far better alternatives. Warfarin causes vitamin K1 deficiency.
Having a artificial valve is a contra-indication for DOAC''s!
This man is insane. He has the hands of GOD.
