Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery...?

My fiance needs his aortic valve replaced. He is 40 yrs old otherwise healthy. I am wondering how long he will be in surgery, how long he be in the hospital and any other info about having this surgery.

Answer:

where is it performed?
This is major heart surgery that is done on bypass (cardiopulmonary bypass, meaning the heart and lung machine. This is very serious. He may be in the hospital for a week or more. He may need cardiac rehab to gradually be able to do simple things.
