About Me (In My Own Words)
I was born with an atrial septal defect and cleft mitral valve that wasn't discovered until I was 14 years of age in 2001. I was living in Minneapolis, MN at the time and underwent open heart surgery in 2001 and 2003.
2001 - Repair of ASD with pericardium & sutured mitral valve
2003 - Redo of 2001 repair - synthetic patch to repair ASD & annuloplasty ring for cleft mitral valve
Now in 2022 -- Within 19 years' time the mitral valve broke down and was regurgitating severely which led to this last surgery which was a mitral valve replacement.
2022 - replacement mitral valve with porcine @ USC Keck
