About Me

Severe aortic stenosis requiring redo operation. Congenital heart defect including coarctation of the aorta (repaired at birth) and bicuspid aortic valve (repaired at age 7, replaced at age 25 with a 19mm tissue valve). Last operation was 2nd open heart surgery at Mayo by Dr Sundt. Currently gearing up for a 3rd OHS for aortic valve replacement within the next 6 months.
