A member asked:
What are things you should not do after an aortic valve replacement surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The type of surgery used is important. Full sternotomy means no straining or heavy lifting for about 6-8 weeks, while a mini- sternotomy requires less recovery. A transcatheter approach can have patients fully active in about a week. Discuss recovery times with your surgeon before proceeding.
