About Me (In My Own Words)
I am a 46 yr old female. I was born with a leaky, bicuspid aortic valve. Always knew I would someday have to have it replaced. I had a heart cath a few days ago and they discovered that I also have an aneurysm of my ascending aorta.
My aneurysm measured 4.2 cm. I have come to understand that normally surgery wouldn't be considered until around 4.5 cm but because I am a 5' 3" women the doctor felt this would be a good time for the surgery. Apparently height is one of the deciding factors when considering this procedure. I am scheduled surgery February 12, 2014.
