If you have had a aortic valve replace and an aortic aneurysm repaired will these need done again?
I answered this already and dont know where the answer is... short answer is yes... if you live that long... 12 years is average... but if you have a mechanical valve its closer to 20 years, but a lot of people have cow or pig valves, and the flesh wears out earlier mostly cause it doesnt get regenerated like human parts. the trick with mechanical valves is you have to take blood thinners forever to keep the blood from gumming up the valve.
