About Me

I want to get this done now while I'm feeling well and am basically symptom free. I'm very concerned about my recovery as I've had open heart before and it is no walk in the park. I'm hoping the advances in this surgery have gotten to a better place as far as recovery goes. There are new techniques as far as MIS, but I am not a candidate for that. Glad to be a part of this group, and I thank you for that. More later.

I am from: Wintersville, Ohio, United States
My surgery date was: September 17, 2015
I was diagnosed with: Aortic Stenosis, Bicuspid Aortic Valve
My surgery was: Aortic Valve Replacement, Aortic Aneurysm Replacement, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
My doctor is: Dr. Dr. Thomas Gleason
My hospital is: UPMC Shadyside
