About Me

I was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve about 30 years ago. Annual, and then biannual echocardiograms eventually revealed that my aortic stenosis was severe. I found Dr. Malaisrie And he recommended that I would be a good candidate for the Ross procedure. The procedure was performed nine days ago. I have been home now for three days and I'm feeling better each day.
