Wish I did not, but it is what it is. The surgeon (perfectionists that they are) who told me was clearly unhappy. My cardiologist on the other hand not so much. He told me he has ptients he has been following for decades with same who have not had to have surgery. Of course some do progress to that point, but hopefully mine will not. Of course I would have preferred to have been told all was perfect after going through such a big surgery, but I am pretty much accepting of it now. I feel so much better.
