Chip, You have the same condition that I was born with . The Bicuspid aortic valve. I lived with mine until age 51 and my aorta also developed an aneurism. I’m 59 now after having the bad valve replaced with a bio-prosthetic one. If you have questions or concerns I’d be happy to answer them for you. Everything will turn out fine . Take care.✌️

Marie Myers Chip, me too… My bicuspid valve got replaced with a bovine valve at age 63. And I had the 2 bonus aneurysm repairs included , all for one low price! I had an ascending aneurysm and an aortic root aneurysm. When I met my cardiologist for the first time around age 62, he said “Surgery is inevitable for you”. My blood pressure was never the same in doctor offices again!. Seriously, everything went well, and i am at year 8, without problems…(so far)
Wishing you good luck for your surgery .
