Hello!
I just had a new porcine aortic valve installed about 10 weeks ago. The valve 
was not properly installed and I am having a fair amount of leakage through it. 
The doc lists it as moderate leakage. They are concerned that with the valve 
having a lot of turbulence because of the leakage of the leaflets, that I may 
have problems with blood clots. I suggested taking Nattokinase, but the doc 
said that because the Nattokinase is a proteolytic enzyme, it may disolve the 
basically dead porcine valve. Does any one have an opinion on that happening? 
There are lots of proteolytic enzymes already in body naturally, would one more 
hurt?  I do take regular amount of CS from one of Trem's SilverGens to help 
support my recovery from this nasty surgery.
Thanks
