Aortic Valve Surgery 

Amazing doctors. I will have to undergo this soon as I have a leaking and narrowing valve 🤧😔

Thank You Dr. Lars Svensson and Dr. Eric Roselli!

My son has a BAV, PDA and VSD. I watch your videos so I have an idea about his heart condition. We dont have money to get him a doctor. Hope you have a charity that helps the poor. I wish my son will be one of your lucky beneficiary. More powers to you! Godbless🙂 -From philippines

My dad has a mechanical valve, made me curious because I love watching surgery’s. My dad has had 3-4 heard surgery’s, the original was to get a pig valve. Then 1 week later the doctors took him back under because it was too small for my dad “he’s 6’7”. They got him a bigger pig valve, but that one wasn’t working right either, so they took him back again to get a mechanical valve. This happened when I was about 5, the only thing I remember is staying at a babysitters for a week or so. But when my dad came home, I noticed he had a ticking sound. I fell asleep to sound of that tick for years. There more, when I was in the 6th grade, my dad also had a ruptured aneurysm near his gull bladder, didn’t have it resolved until hours later. Keep in mind that he is 57 years old, 6’7, has had much physical stress, and he’s on BLOODTHINNERS. This man had a 1% chance of survival and that’s not even a dramatized number. This is all hereditary aswell, his mother dropped dead on the kitchen floor while cooking lunch, sudden, unexpected, and unexplained. My dad remebers it well, he was 14 and was sitting in the living room. He remebers his mom humming in the kitchen, he called for her and asked for some water. A little bit later she stopped humming and he heard a thud. All of his brothers were home (3 of them who all have heart conditions and aneurysms aswell), they tried doing CPR while screaming for their dad who happened to be in the bathroom. My dad has had such a chaotic life, and It doesn’t even stop there. Remember the aneurysm? Well my uncle is a physical therapist and insisted on treating my dad instead of some therapy place when he was released from the hospital. Me and my mom knew he wasn’t right, we noticed there was something off with him when we would call but my uncle didn’t listen. He made my dad do so much physical activity that 2 weeks later he was back in the hospital. This time he had an infection in his gull bladder because there was more blood than the doctors knew was there. The stress on his body made it start to shut down, he ended up having his gull bladder removed. He had gotten an scan for check ups this year and the “fluid that your body will absorb” was still there. He’s alive and kicking, he has a 2 year old, 12 year old, me (15), and my moms other 3 kids. He’s like a cat with 9 lives, I have no idea how he’s even alive right now. Well yeah that’s why I watched this video. FYI when I was in sixth grade I was living in Florida with my mom and brother while my dad and his bothers were in indiana. We were planning on moving down here full time, so we left my dad in Indiana to finish up his work contract and sell our house so he could come up the following summer. After all of the medical bills we couldn’t afford a house so we stayed in Indiana until August 2019. Bought a house in September with our saved money, and been here ever since.

I'm 16 now that's what I had to replace when I was born it was wasn't working so they gave it time I had like surgery's till i was 11 in out of hospitals when 11 turned it turned worse so they had to replace it right away or I could die. So they replaced it and all went well I'm healthy now I'm lucky to be alive today. Like I said I'm 16 now almost 17

I had my aortic valve done in May, I got a mechanical, an on-x one. Yes the warfarin sucks but now I have the at home testing so it’s easier. I eat what I want and they adjust my dose of it changes. Every day it gets easier but I can do more, I don’t feel like I’m gasping for air anymore just moving. I was terrified and avoided it for 2 years but it feels good to be on the other side of it-I’m mad at myself for allowing my fear to stall it.

Thank you for that picture of calcified valve. Clarified my doubt.

I've had a bicuspid aortic valve all my life and have been closely monitored over the years with only moderate regurg that hadn't changed, but 41 now and was told this week that maybe in a year, year and half, looking to get AVR. I'm hoping for bioprostetic and small incisions made.

I need to get something like this done I have a bicuspid aortic valve

Mine is leaking because two of them are together and the leaking is worse than last year I’m going under medication and hopefully if my leaking slows down I won’t need surgery but if it doesn’t then next year I’ll need surgery

I had my aorta valve replaced in 2004. Back then it was open heart surgery. Was surprised when I heard the procedure is less invasive with smaller incisions now.

Lars Svensson is Swedish but does not sound like it at all. His accent is so satisfying.

Dr Sano at UCSF does something called the “Ozaki procedure” he did an incredible job this week on my 15 yr old grandson. Repaired the extremely infected valve and made a 3 leaf bicuspid with heart tissue. ❤️❤️❤️ He also created the Sano shunt.

Beautiful video

I liked the doctor means teacher part. It makes a lot of sense.
