When the surgery occured Monday last the surgeon was alarmed how bad it had become. Bi-leaflet valve birth defect and at 66 years of age those two leaflets were fused by the calcilum build-up. 30 more days? Not likely in my case. Our family decision to proceed now saved my life. New Bio-core Ultra Epic is doing well!great and good for at least 15-20 years. New ascending aortia of woven Dacron as well. 3-1/2 hour surgery by awesome team at St. Vincent's Cardio Vascular Institute in Portland, OR, on Monday at 11am, out of CRU in 24 hours and home Saturday! ps, hospital bed was horrible! Made by Stryker. Don't they make armored vehicles for the Marinews? I concur having had few if any symptoms. When the surgery occured Monday last the surgeon was alarmed how bad it had become.
