About Me (In My Own Words)
I was diagnosed with Bicuspid Aortic Valve in 2018. My Cardiologist told me we will play the wait and see how you are. My last Echocardiogram in July he told me my valve had grown worse and it was time to start thinking about replacement. I have an upcoming Heart Catherization in a few weeks then a meeting with the Surgeon. My Cardiologist, because of my age 60, wants me to undergo Open Heart Surgery with a mechanical valve. I am not feeling comfortable with that and would prefer the TAVR with a tissue valve replacement. I'm just a little overwhelmed right now with all this.
