About Me (In My Own Words)
Had OHS in 2006 to replace my aortic valve with a bovine prosthetic - have enjoyed excellent health since, until a CT scan in March 2020 revealed a 5.1 cm aneurysm in the ascending aorta (without dissection). Presently, my new surgeon, James Benner, MD, here in South Carolina is taking a “wait and see” position, since COVID19, elective surgery is not happening. As I am asymptomatic, I will have another CT scan in October 2020
