Hey Scott, How is your recovery going? I'm debating going with the Ross Procedure, but I've had all kinds of opinions on that decision. Do you have any regrets about not going with a mechanical or organic valve at this point? I hope you are well and on the road to full recovery. Thank you for any insight you may have!

Scott Mills Hi Ken, happy to chat on phone or zoom if it helps. I have zero regrets. It’s open heart surgery either way, and if you have a skilled surgeon the mortality is the same. For me the Ross was always the goal. It provides the only option that puts me back on a normal age curve, has the best durability and freedom from infection and re-operation. Expectation is no long term meds. It’s a complex surgery but it you have the right team it’s as safe as the others. Hope that helps and again, happy to have a real time chat. Scott

Ken Fulton Scott - I'm currently 22 days post-surgery. I ended up with a Ross procedure, and so far, all is good. I was of the same mind frame as you, and I'm told I asked multiple times post-surgery if, in fact, I had the Ross procedure done. Every week, I've seen significant improvement! I hope to be running soon. All the best to you, and I appreciated your insight earlier!

They will get you all set up there at Rehab. I found it was very helpful in getting a baseline and having some structure. I was bummed out when I was finished. I think you will like it and will be happy you do it. Have fun.
