Dr. Chikwe is a world-renowned heart valve surgeon that has performed thousands of heart valve operations that include minimally-invasive techniques.
She received two St. Judes valves, aortic and mitral, and an aortic root. These replaced her On-X valves which were placed 9 years ago, but which were failing due to being undersized and panus (scar tissue overgrowth). This is her third heart surgery. No blood products needed, and she is maintaining her own heart rhythm today, no pacemaker needed. Yay!
