Hi Kevin. I hope you are feeling better and recovering from your surgery. I also was born with bicuspid Aortic valve. Last year I had OHS to replace my aorta as I had developed an aneurysm. They spared my valve, just doing minimal repairs as they felt it was still durable. I am very intrigued that you had your bicuspid replaced with minimally invasive surgery. Did you have to meet certain standards for this type of surgery? From what I’ve heard it still requires open heart. I am hoping any further surgery i might need is also minimally invasive. Did you struggle to find a surgeon to do this type of surgery? What was your recovery like? No pressure to reply! Thank you for your time and best wishes to you for good health!!
