The survival rate after aortic valve replacement varies depending on factors such as the patient's age, overall health, and the type of valve used (biological or mechanical). Generally, the one-year survival rate is around 90-95%, while the five-year survival rate can range from 70-85%. Patients with less severe comorbidities tend to have better outcomes. It’s important for individuals to discuss their specific risks and benefits with their healthcare provider.

What is the survival rate of a 93 year old male with an aortic aneurysm that has ruptured?
The overall mortality rate for a ruptured AAA is 80-90%. This will be increased by other risk factors, such as presence of other disease and being elderly.
How successful are aortic valve implants?
If the aortic valve problem is causing symptoms replacing it can almost immediately improve heart function and the ability to exert yourself. It can also reduce the need for medications, especially diuretics. However, there is a 3-5% operative mortality rate and a complication rate of 2-3% per year which sometimes requires re-operation. There is a 1% death rate per year after the surgery that is directly attributable to the implant. Without the surgery the mortality rate of even severe aortic stenosis is less than 1% if no symptoms are present. However, the mortality rate goes up to 25% per year in patients with symptoms. For this reason, the surgery is felt to be clearly beneficial in symptomatic patients but controversial in asymptomatic patients (even with "severe" stenosis by echocardiographic criteria).
Will you have a stroke or heart attack with a heart rate of 109 during exercise after aortic valve replacement?
Hi, I have had a AVR and and new Aorta 7 weeks ago, I have just started Cardiac Rehab and my heart rate was running at 120 for an hour, I was fine, but really tired But I think it depends on your age, I am 43. My resting heart rate is 80 - 90 at the moment, but just after the operation for a few weeks it was 107. It would be better to ask you local Cardiac Rehab centre for the best answer.
What is the opening angle of a 23mm Carbomedics Top hat valve in the aortic position and what are the expected Doppler gradients and estimated valve areas?
The opening angle of a 23mm Carbomedics Top hat valve in the aortic position is typically around 20 degrees. Expected Doppler gradients would be influenced by factors like flow rate and valve design, but generally, mean gradients of 10-20 mmHg are common with effective valve areas of 2.0-2.5 cm2. However, these values can vary depending on individual patient factors and should be confirmed by clinical evaluation.
