Patient's question:
My neighbor's uncle recently had an aortic valve stenosis surgery at the hospital. However, I heard from a friend that this type of surgery can be prone to complications. But my second uncle also had this surgery over ten years ago. I'd like to ask if congenital aortic valve stenosis surgery can recur after ten years?Doctor's answer:
According to your age, you really should replace the mechanical valve, because the mechanical valve is very durable, but one of its disadvantages is that it is prone to forming blood clots, so anticoagulants such as warfarin need to be used for a long time; this surgery can indeed benefit you by avoiding heart failure; it is recommended that you avoid trauma in daily life. Life, because you may bleed more than others, and also because you have received it. Warfarin should regularly check your anticoagulant performance.
