About Me

I was an active, and I thought healthy 48 year old who loves running, lifting, hiking, fly fishing. Now I'm confronted with a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe stenosis (1.1 cm^s and 3.9 velocity). I'm currently leaning towards a Ross Procedure, but there's still a long way to go between where I am and there (am I a good candidate, finding a surgeon, etc.).
