Katie's Profile

I recently started this journey when an aneurysm of the ascending aorta was found as an incidental finding on a CT when I went in with abdominal/chest pain 3 weeks postpartum in late October. Since then I have had an ECHO done and was also diagnosed with a BAV. I've met with one Cardiothoracic Surgeon who has told me I will need to have my aorta replaced and likely my valve as well sometime down the line. I am currently awaiting a consult for a second opinion.
