Do they Take-out the breathing tube until you are able to breathe on your own

Just had a heart test for health class. I was curious about the functions of heart's parts so I came across this.

And sorry

Sorry you have a aortic regurgitation

my mom gonna have same surgery next month.please explain to me more about the surgery. she is now 57 years.

coolbluelights

which valve you put mechanical or tissue valve

I don't but my husband does. Thank you for the feedback because I have been worried...

Oh

10 days ago at 40 and fully agree!

You are 34 now

How much it cost

@@kamisatoayato1311 35 now. heart feels fine but now having strange pains like cramping. had heart monitor for 1 month and 2 ECHOs and said everything good. its a strange feeling. got to try different doctor.

@@sanji8564 all depends on your health insurance. for tests and surgery then i think i paid out of pocket about $6k

How is your mom now?

We had ours done about the same time. Hope Gertrude is still mooing

Hope you feeling fine now. Wish you health alot.

How was I born with 2 cusps and they would work perfectly like a regular valve?

😐👍

Hey it’s been 9 years how are you doing now?

@@jaym6187 same question lol

Great Sir. Hope you do well and stay inspired whole long life.

Kitna kharch hota he isme meri mammy ko bhi btaya or operation

@Richard Herbert how are you?

Thanks brother hope you are doing ok :)

omggg i’m 17 and will need this sooner or later. I haven’t met anyone young that has had this surgery everyone is old. Can i ask what was wrong with your heart valve? Also did your aortic heart valve cause an aneurysm or dilation on your aorta?

@@beckyann5228 hi im 22 and i need this surgery for the second time in my life what kinda condition do you have if i may ask? I have my heart on the right side of my body and my organs are mirrored but i need a valve replacement because of damaged tissue inside i am going ti get a prostethic valve and also an aorta aneurysm repaired with another prosthetic. Its rare to see young people sith heart problems i had surgery before dont worry try not to think about it too much as it can be very stressfull if it helps the doctors know what they sre doing ans making sure everything will be allright

GLADwhenUwin ahhh your heart issues definitely beat mine 🙈🙈 I have a bicuspid aortic heart valve (so my heart valve was developed wrong) and that also caused me grow an ascending aortic aneurysm. They will both need surgery but not yet. I’m just so scared because my mom had an aortic aneurysm that she didn’t know about and it dissected really badly and she passed away during surgery :( But i trust the doctors !! Good luck on your next surgery, hoping for an easy recovery for you !!

@@beckyann5228 i am sorry to hear that of you're mother My condolences. And by the looks of it it sounds dangerous if left untreated do you have medication for it because if soo there is no need to worry that the aneurysm will grow left untreated however will have bad effects. Thank you i trust the doctors but this isnt my first surgery im at a count of 17 in total from birth soo im used to it. I hope that when you have youre surgery everything will go the right way you are still young so chances of succes rise greatly because of that

Srinivas Ch i had OHS aortic valve replacement just last 2 months when you posted your comment. I just wanna ask, are you taking warfarin for life too?

@@jamessumaljag5271 Yes, Warfarin should take life long....

@@jamessumaljag5271 so you choose mechanical valve sir and how old are you?

Are u still alive my mother is going to have this surgery kindly pray for her

@@faisalshabbir4248 yes, I'm alright, nothing to worry your mother will be safe and live happy life.

@@rosewoodproductions5029 where do you live? I'm happy to pay you a visit and provide a similar solution for you.

Alexander Harris chill its a joke lol

Why you scared to die? We all will die. The problem is how we will dying, that's it

My father had open heart surgery, which does require the same incisions. He had the surgery thirteen years ago and the scar is still prominent on his chest along with the four holes for drainage. But he's alive and still working at 59, that's all that matters in the end 💜

@@jacky9575 stfu kid. just stfu

I hope everything went well!

Becky Levitt almost at my birthday my birth days on december 12

I hope you're doing well 😊

My husband is having this procedure done on Tuesday of next week. I am so scared He isn't even 36 yet and this will be his 4th open heart surgery. The first 2 were when he was a baby. The last one was when he was only 15 He was born with a heart murmur and had to have a saint Judes valve put in.

@@candacecasey5634 I hope the operation went well and he is recovering satsfactorily now. Blessings and peace to both of you

Candace Casey I hope he is doing okay

@@candacecasey5634 is he had mechanical valve ??

@@candacecasey5634 a saint judes valve. what is that? and hows he doing?

Bob Tynes wow Brave!!!

OP_ RAKESH heart is much better. I ignored the problem for so long my heart enlarged and made it hard to breathe at times. I’m better thanks for asking. Are you getting surgery?

@@tallicafan85 no have a good day I am from INDIA

Heyy, Are you doing okay?? ;((

@@willgund779 I wonder too

Are you fine now

How are you doing now?

Glad to hear you have done so well

George Alderson ty feel like a new man can’t believe how strong I feel

i had mine replaced in Rochester Minnesota , august 15 th 2019 mechanical valve , on blood thinners tho

Everything will be ok. See the Doctor be honest about every thing including how you feel and they will sort everything out. Your stronger than you think.

It’s been 3 years. You good man ?

Don't you need to replace it since your heart also grew?

It's been 4years ? U doing good?

does it means that 30 years is the life of mechanical valve ???

I also live in bhopal my mom have same problem plz tell apne kaha pr krwai thi kon dr acha h Bta to bahut help hojaegi

How is it now?

@@stupidumbasshithead5715 all is well only drawback on artificial valves is being on blood thinners. At 67 I only take 3 kind of pills daily

That's pretty interesting

I had a bicuspid valve as well......It was only opening up about a half inch and wasn't closing all the way. I had my aortic valve replaced with a "pig" valve 3 years ago and am doing great! I'll be 70 soon.

witchesbru67 wow amazing

After a while you won't even notice the sound.

Follow the advice of your cardiologist and surgeon. It's unlikely that valve replacement will be done quite the same way in 15-20 years as it is now.

How are you now?

Sorry, hope you get better

i have mild regurgitation on my aortic valve after receiving a mechanical replacement 3 years ago. went to get a EET exam. the one where they shove a camera and ultra sound device down your throat and esophagus to take a picture of your heart, the back of it. well something happened during the operation. i was just about as conscious as i am here and now speaking to you (stupid high tolerant to opioids, even the fentanyl) and there was a moment they dropped a device and everyone in the room gasped, froze and stared me right in the eyes. mouths gaped open an everything!! i didnt ask them wth was that, but i can still remember everyones face in the room . this was in march of 22. so my cardiologist deemed the operation necessary to get a better picture and more data regarding the regurgitation but this minor op caused some serious damage. im on blood thinners due to my mechanical valve, as i mentioned, and so any internal bleeding is cause for extreme concern. death is highly probable if the bleeding is excessive enough and in the proper wrong spot. so ive been to the ER three times since the operation, and it wasnt until the third i put two and two together. because i was under a lot of fent during the operation, (they made sure to indicate in their report, that instead of the typical single dose of 1mg fent, i required 7 doses of 1mg. along with the propofol and etizolam) i hadnt really made it a point to ask my GP afterwards if anything bad went down and did they write it in there. ill spare typing out the symptoms i had at home which motivated me to get to the ER, mostly chest pain and profuse sweating, but the tests indicated i didnt have blood in my lungs and so the internal bleeding wasnt an immediate cause of concern. but the ultra sound results were ostensibly nothing positive or negative, just told us what we already know. i guess its a good thing because it couldve indicated that the regurgitation upgraded from mild to moderate. im telling you all this because im trying to say, i regret getting the operation done. it caused more damage and did more negative than positive. it was the only way to tell if any regurgitation had begun behind my heart, and on a separate valve than where it was previously, on the aortic. so that is one way to look at it. i will never get another one done, (eet exam). if i start getting more similar symptoms ill just ask for antibiotic and fight it, and then go from there. they not only almost killed me thru internal bleeding, but they didnt tell me or evidently write it down in the report. thats insane. they took the time to (almost sarcastically) write how high of an opioid tolerance i have, as they mentioned it was the highest they ever provided to a patient in this type of exam. for whatever reason that is. my GP had a little chuckle at it, like how funny, you are a drug addict, require more meds than an elephant . (im not) , if anyone has gone thru the things ive gone through they would require the same if not more meds i am on. i learned right that day, how risky everything is in the medical industry . especially operations and surgeries. you are at the mercy of everyone in that room. if they dont like you , for whatever reason, or having a bad day, etc, one small slip up and thats it , your gone. and not even quick and under sedation, long slow, agonizing, without an understanding of why, or how, when. they are people just like anyone with faults and flaws, and for that i dont blame them. but sometimes we put too much faith and trust in those same people.. its their jobs, day in, day out. they can get jaded. they can get complacent they can get ignorant or negligent. in a blink of an eye too. just recently in the canadian news there is reports of a doctor who is being charged with 3 murders. of his patients, all elderly. i havent read much into it because i had read my share of doom news for the day/week. but going to follow up. when the nurse was looking for a vein prior to the operation after minutes of not finding anything plausible and two major misses. (ones i told her are not going to work) , i dont have many, only a couple left in my foot, and i cant afford to lose those two incase of emergencies. a third nurse who was proclaimed to be an expert at locating and successfully connecting an IV in "difficult patients" was invited into the OR and she looked around at my arms for a bit and said she enjoyed this part of her job very much. "Shopping for veins" was the exact quote. "to pay in blood"......🤕🤒😓

What is his condition now?

Is he doing better now?

Hope you will not need anymore wish you all the best

Just realized the comment was 8 years ago, please let me know if you are well

How did the surgery go?
