Sandy, I know that you are probably a little apprehensive about your upcoming Surgery, however, I was facing a similar situation 48 years ago. At that time, there were only 3 locations in the US that were equipped and willing to undertake my Surgery. I was only 35 years old. I chose UAB in Birmingham, AL. (the other 2 were Houston, TX & in CA) Dr John Kirkland replaced my aortic valve, using a Mechanical Valve, and it is still functioning as it should. Think good, happy thoughts, and may God bless you and your Surgeons.
