About Me

I was diagnosed with a Bicuspid Aortic valve with regurgitation and stenosis in February, 2017, after a doctor heard the murmur during a routine physical for work. On October 30th, 2018, I was informed that valve replacement, as well as aortic aneurysm fix was needed within 3-6 months. After a second opinion, I learned of the Inspirus Resilia valve and made contact with Dr. Svensson's office in Cleveland. I have my first appointment there on January 10th, 2019. I hope to know more after the visit, and possibly have a firm surgery date after that.
