I completed a follow-up echo today one year after my Ross procedure at Mt Sinai in New York. My valves are looking great! Enjoyed seeing some of my New York team heroes again -Dr. El-Hamamsy, Dr. Williams, Roberto and Leemor ❤️ Celebrated with my family with some unbelievably tasty gelato!😋

Looking great, Grace. Hearing about the sternal non union must have been disappointing. Have you had a chance to speak with the surgeon's office yet? I'm not familiar with it.

Beautiful Grace! You're the picture of health! Does this have anything to do with the rigid fixation option you chose? I'm sorry you're going through this. Please keep us posted. 🙏❤️
