Heart Valve replacement
by OLDHAM, Jun 02, 2008 05:58AM
I am currently on a waiting list for Valve replacement on the Aorta as i have what is known as a reguritation of the aorta. I have been given two options a metal valve which i would have to take medication called Warfarin for the rest of my life. Or i could have a pigs valve fitted which i would have to have replaced every 15-17 years. Please could someone help me with the decision of which one to have, i dont like the idear of the medication but is this a wise move thanks!!
