I had one of these implanted last December and after a few months have
decided that it has probably improved my condition. This subject may
already have been covered but I wondered if any one else here has a Bi-
vent. They are said to be quite a new thing in the UK. Unfortunately,
I still have problems, particular with climbing or walking any distance
and have been told my Tricuspid valve is leaking quite badly. It has
been suggested that an operation may be necessary. After having MV
surgery in 2002 I find the thought of further surgery quite daunting.
Who can give me courage?
