aortic valve replacement
This gentleman is Day 4 after a minimally invasive tissue aortic valve replacement with sutureless valve. The procedure was done through a very small incision in the upper breast bone called a mini-sternotomy. The new bioprosthetic valve was implanted without any sutures. It is called self expanding valve or sutureless valve.

My name is David Kirkham. Yeah. What procedure did you have? I had the minimal invasive heart valve replacement. You are currently day four of the minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. That's the word, yeah. With the tissue valve. Would you tell us your experience about the surgery and after surgery pain of level or any experience you have? well, it was very quick and The Care was brilliant couldn't fault the care and Just I didn't have any worries really because I knew I was in safe hands. It's something went unexpected or what you were expecting before surgery? No, not really. Everything went according to plan. Everything was set out in a set routine and it all sort of followed suit with that. So, pretty good. Would you say something for other patients who actually are waiting for such kind of surgery? Don't worry about it, it's better than I thought it would be. And something that you should admit that the pain level or some other things that were bigger? No, the pain level was okay, it was bearable with with the proper drugs. So yeah, fine.
