A member asked:
I have a prosthetic heart valve. titanium, 32 mm, mitral valve. it will be 20 years on january 11th, 2015. should the length of time be a concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prosthetic valve: If the model,serial batch number is available then there should be a database of implants to give specific guidance;likely yours should be fine for at least another 20++ years with good care eg warfarin,antibiotic prophylaxis etc
