About Me

By total accident it was discovered about a month ago that my aortic valve was heavily calcified. The opening is only .6cm. I have no symptoms. I am 53 years old and in good health. My arteries are clear of blockages. I may need aortic root replacement as well. CT scan and other tests for that are 3/27. I am leaning towards the On-X valve but still researching. I am an avid golfer. I have no other physical issues other than the "rock pile" aortic valve as my cardiologist called it.

I am from: Hensley, United States
My surgery date was: April 6, 2017
I was diagnosed with: Aortic Stenosis, Bicuspid Aortic Valve
My surgery was: Aortic Valve Replacement, Aortic Aneurysm Replacement
My surgeon is: Dr. Michael Bauer
My hospital is: CHI St. Vincent Little Rock, AR
