If your treating physicians recommend that you or a family member have a BSCC heart valve explanted, one of the most important decisions you will have to make if you decide to follow their advice is to find the most qualified and experienced surgeon(s) and the most qualified, experienced hospital with trained experienced staff to handle this life changing endeavor. We can provide you with a list of the names and addresses of some of the physicians and hospitals at which some prior Shiley heart valve clients have been treated and which they and their family members have recommended. This list will not be exhaustive, nor will it comprise the only choices available. This list merely comprises some recommended cardiac surgeon(s) and hospitals with experienced staff that former Shiley heart valve implantees and our prior clients have recommended to us in their opinions to provide to future Shiley heart valve clients and implantees who are considering having their Shiley heart valve(s) explanted based upon a physician’s recommendation.

This is a very important decision which should be carefully and thoroughly investigated and all factors should be carefully evaluated.
