Fascinating. I had Mitral Valve Stenosis and replaced the valve with a mechanical in 01, I read all the surgical reports but never really knew what had transpired.

@footballmanager221 it's possible, the surgeon could penetrate the left atrium through the fossa ovalis region the right atrium. however, most common way is through the left ventricle for aortic SLV, and atrium for mital valve, since it yields the surgeons with better visibility of the target area.

I observed a mitral valve replacement whilst in india, and the surgeon said he went through the right ventricle in order to replace one of the mitral valves (in the left)- is this common practice or did i understand wrong?!
Today seems an important day for an update. An old friend, who went in for roughly the same surgery (Aortic valve rather than mitral valve) passed away Thursday.
Life is indeed precious - enjoy every moment of it.
