A member asked:
After aortic valve replacement how many month rest in home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: You can expect to stay in the hospital for about a week, including at least 1 to 3 days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).Recovery after valve surgery may take a long time,but If you have an office job, you can usually go back to work in 4 to 6 weeks. Those who have more physically demanding jobs may need to wait longer.
