Suggest Mechanical Valve Which Is Not Noisy
i had a mechanical aortic valve fitted in jan 2010, i found out today i will need another operation due to the streching of the aortic root causing regurgitation. they may consider replacing the valve at the same time. i was wondering is there any mechanical valve wich isn't noisy or which is the least noisiest ? as the click sound makes does make me anxious around other people.

hi
it is better for you to discuss with the cardologist to go ahead with the surgery with biological valves which are comparitively less noisy.
all the best take care
