About Me

Hi! My names Ann. I found this site because around 8 years ago I had an aortic aneurysm dissect. It was repaired with a gelweave graft. This past spring the graft dissected! I now am dealing with a new aortic root, mechanical valve, and pacemaker. It's been a lot to get used to, especially the mechanical valve and I hoping to meet some people who have maybe had somewhat similar experiences!
