Search for heart hospitals that specialize in heart valve treatment.
Although my decision was to spare my valve, I don't regret it because I was not a good candidate for a bio prosthetic valve at that time. The downside was that I knew eventually I will need a second open heart surgery to replace my heart valve. Luckily everything turned out fine and I'm doing quite well today!
It's hard to believe that it was 17 years ago when I learned about my BAV! I'm 72, still quite active and so far haven't had any complications due to the 2 heart surgeries! I'm so grateful!
For those of you who are facing heart surgery, know that there's hope. With great surgeons and technology that continues to progress, we see much more success rates and recovery! I wish you all the best! If I can do it …so can you! Be well…you got this !
