WOW! I am 2 weeks out for a redo surgery where they enlarged the annulus and the aorta itself. IN the process, the scar from the first minimally invasive surgery ruptured.When I see how wide the instrument spreads I can easily understand how it happened.
Once again! Thanks for the images.

I am a mother and one of the caregivers of soon to have valve replacement surgery, John. Though I know some about the surgery, most people in our support group don’t. It is almost always anxiety reducing if we know how things and done, rather than creating our own weird thoughts.

We appreciate your site, and all the info you dig up for all of uss.

Adam,

Not to gruesome at all. Keep the pictures coming. I was thinking about this same topic this morning. I have aortic stenosis and will need valve replacement next month.

Thanks for this and all the other great stuff on this website.

Best,

James
