  • Doktorluk mesleği çok sabır edilmesi ve saygı duyulması gereken bir meslek... tüm cerrahların önünde saygı duruyorum....Allah kuvvetinizi arttırsın.

  • I've been told that if you're really quiet you can actually hear the valve make a soft clicking noise when your heart beats. I watched a live heart valve replacement done before and it was really fascinating.

  • The transparent tubing is for drainage, the tubing comes out below your sternum When it gets removed it feels pretty funny. You are awake and the nurse just grabs a hold and pulls, then picks the scab twice a day.

  • My gf has a valve problem and she is always coughing and having chest pains any way she can get a vavle surgery that can help extend life, and stop the pains ? and permanite valves ? Help ! message me back plz

  • Amazing, is the name mitroflow bioprosthetic valve a reflaction of Dr Starrs' work? I would assume it is because his design was originally for bicuspid replacement and this surgery is replacement of aortic semilunar.

  • @Niceboy3377 No, not really, or hardly at all. They keep you on Oxycodone for a couple of days, but on leaving the hospital after 5 days, I pretty much felt nothing, except when I would stretch. You can't lift but 5 or 10 pounds the first month, because it puts pressure on the sternum. And for a couple months sleeping on your side will create a couple hours of such pressure the next day. But I'm now almost 4 months out of surgery and completely free of even that bruised feeling.

  • @rbirkin did it hurt?

  • Full video of the surgery 15 minutes on "Aortic Valve Replacement Full"

  • El vídeo completo de esta cirugía dura 15 minutos y se titula Aortic Valve Replacement full

  • So they actually cut the aorta to get to the valve? That's pretty amazing!
