Hey Anthony I have very similar diagnosis severe stenosis and 4.8 ascending aorta. Just wondering how old you are? I’m 41 and pretty sure I’m going tissue valve and I realize that won’t be anything the surgeon wants to hear. Also full sternotomy?

Good luck on your upcoming procedure. I hope all goes well. I am close 1-2 years away. Not sure if mine is bicuspid. They thought it was for years. Now think that the 3rd commissary is just very severely diseased There s no function to it.
Susan Roberts Sending healing thoughts with your upcoming surgery.

Anthony Shipley I had the Bentall procedure with a mechanical valve. That’s really all I know. Replaced my ascending aorta and inserted an Onyx Valve. I believe that’s the spelling.

Welcome Anthony, 2 months post opp and doing great, also had bicuspid aortic valve and aortic artery Aneurism which gives you the regirgitation as a bonus. I have been anesthetized several times, jusr relax and breath deep and the next thing you know they will be waking you up. Like the OHS, for most the fear is way worse than the procedure itself. You look in good shape, you should do just fine 👍 How old are you, I am surprised the dont ask that on your story as it is applicable to vakve surgery. Cheers
