What is the effect of a pacemaker after aortic valve replacement surgery? - aortic valve replacement more condition_symptoms

My father, 46 years old, underwent heart surgery on Wednesday and had his aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve.

His heart has started is not new (awake) and is now being put in a pacemaker on Monday.

I really do not know what it all means. Is it normal? What are the risks? The doctors seem pretty relaxed about the procedure and we have ensured that there is nothing to fear.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
