Jessica's Guestbook

Jessica Miller  Hi Sylvia, actually no, have not found a Dr here in Houston that does the Ross Procedure on adults. I have moderate symptoms now, so not ready for surgery, But, because my aortic regurgitation progressed quickly (also from congenital defect), I was just looking at available options out there. I’m very active outdoors and really have concerns about anti-coagulants. There are several surgeons specializing in the Ross Procedure at Baylor Scott and White health, which is in Plano, north of Dallas. I definitely plan to reach out to them when I get to that point. My cardiologist recommended the OnX valve, which I think is the newest mechanical out there that requires less anti-coagulants, (dr Angela ferguson with Kelsey). But she also said that the surgeon, when it gets to that point would recommend/present options etc. good luck! Feel free to reach out any time!
