I don't have any experience with valve surgeries and my friend back east had hers replaced but I wasn't there. I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you. I suspect many have read your post but may not know how to help.

The best person to ask is his cardiologist. Are you able to go in with your Dad when he visits next time?  I've gone in with my Mom to some of her doctor visits.
