Hi Bridget! Sorry I am so slow at responding. I had exactly as you, a papillary fibroelastoma on my pulmonic valve. There were no symptoms- just found by accident. I am now almost 2 years post op and doing great. Are you having any follow up testing? I would love to hear from you. Vicki. (VJburns@cox.net)
