Heart bypass and valve replacement are two quite different operations, i really hope they knew which one they were doing! My grandmother was eighty-something (i forget now) when she had a heart valve replacement, and there were no veins taken from legs...unfortunately, she too had complications, but no mention of bypass veins...did they do a bypass or two while they were there? A quick google search will reveal the most common methods of valve replacement, none of which include taking tissue from the patient's own body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
