About Me (In My Own Words)
I am 65 years old and have been active and fit my whole life. I have a bicuspid aortic valve that finally needs replacement. My cardiologist, who I have seen for at least 10 years, says it is pretty routine surgery these days and that I don't need to search outside Denver to get good care. I am concerned that the surgeons he partners with do a mini sternotomy for aortic valve replacement.
The shorter recovery time for mini thoracotomy is appealing and recovery and mortality rates seem to be at least as good. The search is on.
