My mum (73, non-smoker, not overweight) has been diagnosed with 2nd degree aortic valve stenosis 5 years ago. Now deteriorating. Her cardiologist sees her every 6 months and strongly recommends surgery. She is too scared as dad died during a coronary bypass op. Any tips how to gently make her feel better about the op? She heard on the radio that some valve replacements can be done via catheter, not necessitating open heart surgery and heart-lung-bypass. Is that true for aortic valves and is it likely to become mainstream soon? She lives in Germany, so I guess good centres would be Munich, Wuerzburg and Heidelberg. Any views very appreciated!
Without surgery, a person with aortic stenosis who has angina or signs of heart failure may do poorly. Possible Complications * Arrhythmias * Endocarditis * Left-sided heart failure * Left ventricular hypertrophy (enlargement) caused by the extra work of pushing blood through the narrowed valve Aortic stenosis can be cured with surgery. After surgery there is a risk for irregular heart rhythms, which can cause sudden death, and blood clots, which can cause a stroke. There is also a risk that the new valve will stop working and need to be replaced. According to a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized study of 25 patients, percutaneous implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis in high risk patients with aortic stenosis results in marked hemodynamic and clinical improvement when successfully completed. Medium- and long-term results are unknown. When selecting the optimal therapy for individual patients, the percutaneous approach must be carefully weighed against the excellent results achieved with conventional surgery.

A friend of mine is having open-heart surgery next week to replace a heart valve. He needs to decide whether he wants a mechanical valve or a biological one. He is 28 years old. Which would you choose and why?
Well one of the draw backs to a mechancial valve would be that your friend would have to be on blood thinners for life. Biological, you would worry about rejection. But, you would worry about rejection with the mechanical also. Depends on what type of after care he/she is willing to put up with. I would probably choose the mechanical.
My fiance needs his aortic valve replaced. He is 40 yrs old otherwise healthy. I am wondering how long he will be in surgery, how long he be in the hospital and any other info about having this surgery.
where is it performed?
The water shut off valve that is under my sink in the bathroom is leaking and I need to replace it. I am wondering if I need soder the new one or can I just put some thread tape around it.
TURN THE STOPCOCK OFF OUTSIDE ..DRAIN WATER OUT OF THE TAP AND REPLACE WITH NEW ..

I have this air canister i want to attach to a homemade Airsoft gun. (please no comments or answers on that).The air canister has an opening on both ends. I thought for simplicity, put a filler valve on one end and a connection to the gun on the other.Exactly what kind of one way filer valve will i need, most of the ones i look at look like propane tank connections and those are for filling and dispensing into the system.

I have an 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse rs and its a little jerky while driving and i think it might be the PCV valve but I don't know where it is located.. where is it? and would this cause the check engine light to come on?
Your okorder okorder , which covers all Eclipse/Talon models.
Just bought car used. It is an 88 Toyota Corolla Fx. It is leaking and loosing a lot of oil. The EGR valve is spraying pretty badly. All hoses are fine. Seems to be in the seal. Is this the possible fix I need to solve these problems? Cleaned and inspected engine for other leaks and found none. Please help. Very poor and highly motivated to fix this car up.
Hello, The EGR valve will not spray oil, It is an exhaust gas recirculation valve that does not have oil get to it!! Please add more info so we can better answer your question . Thanks for additional info. But I don't think you know what the EGR valve is. Engine oil should not be spraying from the EGR valve ! Maybe you are trying to describe another part? Also, You need to fix the wheel cylinder or caliper before you can bleed the brakes. Maybe you need a mechanic to assist you. Good luck !
