Medicare pays for heart surgery that is medically necessary. This would include aortic valve replacement.
Aortic valve replacement is inpatient surgery. After the 2013 Part A deductible is met ($1184) Medicare will cover most of your inpatient charges in full.
Follow up care after discharge is covered under Part B and subject to the $147 deductible.
