A member asked:

Father is having surgery for aortic valve stenosis. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A little: Most open heart surgical progras have reported operative mortality of less than 5% and major complications of less than 10%. Greater than 90-95% of the time everything should work out fine. The average hospital stay is 4-7 days. If your father is not too sick with many other problems and has decent heart function you cn expect the above results.
