I am beyond happy to share that Ari Mintzer, 46, just had a successful aortic valve re-operation at the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday. So you know, Ari needed a “re-do” because his 14-year old tissue valve was failing from aortic stenosis<\/a> and regurgitation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

I have to give Ari and his wife, Lisa, A LOT of credit…\u00a0 They did A LOT of research prior to the re-do.<\/p>\n

After talking with several leading surgeons about his options (Ross Procedure, TAVR, mechanical heart valve replacement), Ari decided to have a second tissue valve implanted by Dr. Eric Roselli<\/a>, the Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at Cleveland Clinic.<\/p>\n

Given his active lifestyle and potential need for another future intervention, Ari and Dr. Roselli chose to implant the INSPIRIS RESILIA heart valve replacement<\/a>\u00a0made by Edwards Lifesciences.

Serendipity for Ari, Dr. Roselli & Me?<\/h2>\n

As you can see in his “Thumbs Up!” picture below… The best part of this story is that Ari is now in recovery.\u00a0 Woo-Whoo!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ari<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interestingly… What makes this story just a bit more special is that Ari and Dr. Roselli are fraternity brothers.<\/p>\n

That’s right!<\/p>\n

Ari and Dr. Roselli both went to the University of Michigan AND they were both members of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.<\/p>\n

How great is that?<\/p>\n

Well…<\/p>\n

The story gets a bit more fun…<\/p>\n

Yep…<\/p>\n

I was a member of that same fraternity at the same exact time as Ari and Dr. Roselli.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure if that’s called a coincidence, a fluke or serendipity.<\/p>\n

Whatever you call it, I’m just thrilled to see Ari doing so well thanks to Dr. Roselli.<\/p>\n

Update: Ari Leaves Cleveland Clinic Day 5 Post-Op!<\/h2>\n

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, I’ll simply post this photo to illustrate how Ari felt on day 5 post-op as he prepared to leave the Cleveland Clinic. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ari<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his text to me this morning, Ari wrote, “I am feeling amazing. Ready to leave the hospital in the next few hours.”<\/p>\n

As you might imagine… Those words just made my day!<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin’ Ari & Dr. Roselli!
