I was referred to my cardiologist who did a TEE test and and my leakage is severe. I was then referred to Dr. Parrino at Ochsners in New Orleans. I am now 49 years old and scheduled for Open Heart valve repair on Wednesday Jan. 26th.

I am from: Diamondhead, United States
My surgery date was: January 26, 2022
