Erik Hampson A lot of us have/had severely calcified BAVs. Why is Ross specifically being recommended? Valve type is an extremely complicated and difficult personal decision that most good surgeons will help walk you through. I find it odd that Ross is being recommended straight off the bat. I'd add a little more context to your post.

Grace Mason Hi Kevin, I highly recommend talking to Dr El-Hamamsy and Mt Sinai hospital in New York City if you are considering a Ross procedure. He is one of the top Ross surgeons in your area. My experience was A+ with the whole team there. I had a calcified BAV and a 5 cm aneurysm and had a Ross at Mt Sinai in September 2023. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
