opinion. Not just another opinion but from a GOOD and KNOWN physician.
I'm not a physician; I do have one of those PhD thing if that counts for anything. I have done some heart valve research with a surgeon for a brief period.
Of the little medical knowledge that I picked up, ask the physician about danger of blood clot and potential for stroke after replacement, ask about the type of heart valve to be used, animal tissue valve, mechanical valve,.... get the manufacturer name and model if they can provide it, ask about the history of failure rate for that valve, Google it but as always, don't believe everything you see from the net.
Ask about long-term maintenance drug to prevent blood clot, infection, or rejection, side effects....etc.
I'm sure if you Google heart valve replacement, you get a ton of information. Anytime you operate on the heart, it is a major procedure, depending how much you want to know, you can probably go to a research medical library and ask for video tapes on such procedure.
With best wishes to your mom.
