4 years ago today my then 19 year old son, Sebastian, had his bicuspid aortic valve repaired. Things are still stable with his repair and aneurysm and we are still thankful for every day of good health.

hi I also have bicuspid. Have not had surgery yet but also very depressed about it. I had to go back on antidepressants. I thought they can only do open heart with only 2 heart valves as not FDA approved to do less invasive? I would like to know more?
Susan Lynn
Yay!!! Happy 3rd Anniversary!!! It's hard to believe that much time has passed! Keep in touch and let us know how you're doing!!! ❤❤❤

Please relay my congratulations to your son, Sebastien. I'm a fellow BAV patient who will be one-year post-op in a few days. Glad to learn that in spite of all the challenges, you and Sebastien are doing well.
