This video was extremely educating. I will pose this video for use within TUDelft Biomedical engineering, where this subject is covered as well, if this is ok for you.

I have had aortic and mitral valve replacement with tissue valves at the age of 50 and 52. Just had cardiac check-up and the valves are doing great, it has been almost 10 yrs and I am having no problems. Am still wondering how long they will last. I have been given many different time frames, would love to know if anyone has any more information on life spans of tissue valves.

This video has put my mind at rest a little bit. It's my nan who is undergoing a valve replacement in the next few weeks. Im still a little bit worried about it, but atleast now i know what is going to be happening and abit more about how the heart works etc.
Thank you for uploading this :)

Thanks for that explanation and introduction as I am due to have the aortic valve replaced soon. This had made me feel a bit better about the procedure.

i just had a mitral valve replacement (mechanical) a week ago. I'm still recovering and in pain especially on my back. Breathing is a lot better now.

If you have a mechanical heart valve and have trouble sleeping, but you don't want to
use drugs to sleep - you can purchase a psychoacoustic audio recording with the title
"Heartbeat River" at cdbaby.com.

Great explanation--Great Video!! Just wonder why he doesn't have a mask on when the patient is in the room...?

Thank you! My beloved one had this operation 2 years ago, the surgery lasted for 14 hours, done by 3 major doctors of the clinic, and, since then, the valve ticking has been my most favorite sound.
You're welcome - that means it worked. I hope that it helps people facing valve replacement surgery to understand what is done.
