Hi Jim. I hope your recovery is going well. You had your procedure about 2 weeks after mine. I also had an aortic aneurysm/valve repair. The surgeon repaired mine by tightening up the annulus from the outside. How did they repair your valve?

He put 3 stitches in the valve and said it didn't leak. It took him a while as my Bi cuspular valve was more deformed than most. Then they went on to fix the aneurysm and aortic root.

That's awesome! I'll be following your recovery.
