Valve replacement is slightly more invasive to the heart than a bypass (you have to go into the heart cavity), but they have newer techniques (they can actually do it with a scope in some cases) than when my dad had it done 10 years ago. He had 2 valves replaced with artificial valves and in a quiet room you can literally hear him 'tick' (especially when he's pissed at something).

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
