My uncle had a pig valve installed earlier this year, doing fine, I think he's about in his late 60s. No such thing as "simpler" surgery, my wife had a "simple" hernia repair ten years ago and has been in constant pain ever since as a result.
Get a 2d opinion re: are there meds or therapy that can help instead of surgery. Be sure you understand the -true- risk of doing nothing. You should ask lots of questions re: how does anesthesia affect "older" folks mentally, a lot of surgical risk comes from the anesthesia.
Good luck.
Mike
