This is my second surgery, actually third since they had to reopen me within 24 hours for bleeding out. The "button" sprung a bad leak on my coronary artery. The below surgery was in 2012. Latest will be 5/09/2017.
Roger is a 45 year old retired Air Force veteran. He was told in June 2012 that he had a 5.2cm Aortic root aneurysm and that his aortic valve was not working right due to the aneurysm stretching it out of shape. He recently had open chest surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, FL. on 3 Dec 2012.
