I had aortic valve replacement and aortic aneursym repair on 9/11/08. I am a 46 year old female. My recovery has progressed well until about 4 weeks ago. I began experiencing PAC's while on the treadmill at cardiac rehab. My doctor ordered a follow-up CT scan, which revealed the following: (I am going to type this exactly as written on my "results" card) "Non-calcified nodules (3). Possibly due to surgery. Will follow up with CT scan in 6 months." I have no idea whether these nodules are in the heart or the lung (which I have been reading alot about online). Any ideas or suggestions? I have a follow-up appointment with the same cardiologist next week, but wondered if you have ever heard of this! Thanks! Hi! I had aortic valve replacement and aortic aneursym repair on 9/11/08.

I was out of the hospital in 5 days. I'm 57 years old and recieved excellent care at UCSD in san diego. I returned to work after 2.5 weeks. The MAJOR post-op problem I expirenced was persistant upper back pain. I learned that during the surgery your chest is hyper extended putting a huge amount of pressure /stress on the upper back. The solution is streching exersises prior to surgery and after surgery with massage by a specialist becouse laying on your chest may not be an option. Your blog is great! Keep on ticking!
