Your cardiologist or cardiac surgeon may recommend an aortic valve repair or replacement if your age and overall health make you eligible for surgery.
It is a major procedure so your consultant will talk you through your options.
Following surgery, you’ll be taken to an intensive care unit, usually for 1 to 2 days so your heart, lungs, and bodily functions can be carefully monitored. You’ll then be moved to a surgical ward where you’ll stay for a further 4 to 5 days depending on your condition.
It may take up to 2 to 3 months before you are fully recovered, therefore you should gradually return to your normal activities. After 4 to 6 weeks, you should be able to drive and fly. You will need approximately 6 to 12 weeks off work, depending on your job.
Your cardiac surgeon will advise what pain killers or medication you require, and any activities you should avoid. They can also refer you for physiotherapy to help aid your rehabilitation.
