About Me (In My Own Words)
On 8/22/2018 I had a surgical aortic valve replacement with a 25 mm St. Jude Trifecta GT bioprosthetic valve due to severe, although asymptomatic aortic regurgitation. There was no detectible AR on annual echocardiograms until November 2023, when moderate AR was discovered on an TTE. A subsequent TEE confirmed AR due to a leaflet tear. I remained asymptomatic until a TAVR ViV with a 23 mm Edwards Sapient 3 Ultra Resilia TAVR valve.
