I had a valve replacement at age 65 without a problem, even though I had conditions which complicated it.  Hope the same for you!

I don't know if you looked into MT Sinai  Hospital, in NY City.  They perform miracles.  I speak from experience.  They have the best Cardiac center in the north east.  When I was there, there were patients from all over the US and Europe.  Dr. David Adams, has invented several procedures and techniques for Valve replacements, repairs, and even transplants.  Google his name and take a look.  Just another option for you.  There were plenty of patients in their 90s.  I made friends with a man, 85, that came up from Florida for an Aortia Valve. He went back home before I did....  Medicare and  all insurance accepted.  I will only go to MT Sinai, and the local hospital is only one mile from my house.

Either way best of luck, and prayers sent'...  

i do not know where you live,but pick the major medical center nearest to you for a second or third opinion.  the biggest are sometimes the best for a reason.  mayo is one and a half hour one way drive for me and it is worth it.  it is world class.

cleveland clinic, johns hopkins, penn, jefferson, hahneman mayo in rochester phx fla, etc, etc good luck.

You got it man sending a prey for your wife.With the lord she will pull through and steam onward.

My mom had heart issues as a little girl. Hshe needed a triple bypass and heart valve i her late 80' Hernia's , breast cancer lung issues. Even, though she always took care of herself. She had issues where stents could not be installed in her artery because of the location and a bad heart valve..

The surgeon did not want to do the surgery because of her age. But, changed his mind when her Doctor described my mom's mental attitude. She is naturally a fighter and survivor. A very important factor.

So, If you do find a Doctor to perform the surgery. You need to have a good talk with your wife. It is not a issue thing to go through at any age. 

We are all pulling for both of you! Your train buddies,

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU and thank......guys, I did not expect such  response, all you guys are great, with your prayers my wife will be OK, also  the Quarter Gauger 48 suggestion about the MT Sinai Hospital in NY City is a good idea and of course I will find out about Dr. David Adams, this is a very good choice and of course is good to know about Clinic May and Cleveland and Johns  Hopkins, thanks again guys, this is a GREAT Forum, I will keep you inform
