Sameer's Journal

Abhishek Sharma  Well it means surugry will perform untill its reached 50-55mm. Soo some doctors will wait .... But most of them suggest surugry...

Grace Mason   I would get a second opinion on timing for intervention since your regurg is moderate to severe and LV is enlarged. As Abhishek mentioned, the aortic dilation would be closer to 50 mm to indicate surgery for that reason.

Abhishek Sharma  I also suffered from same condition, operated 5 month ago with a mach. valve, my dilation was 53mm at the time of surgery.. best of luck.. 

Dan Fouratt  Sameer,  My doctor is recommending surgery on 3/21/24 and I am going forward with it.  I have sent all my records to a friend who happens to be a top cardiologist in another state. His advice is unfiltered.  He said that if it was him, he would probably wait a year or two, regardless  I will be having a new valve before I am 66.  (Currently 63) If i was ready today go get it done.  He continued my stenosis will only get worse and not improve as I wait. He said it was up to me and neither decision is wrong.  Do what is right for you.  I decided today is better then somewhere in the future. Good luck on your decision journey.
