About Me (In My Own Words)
I’m a 33 year old woman in Southern California. I was born with aortic stenosis, bicuspid valve, shone’s complex, and I’m dextrocardia. I underwent surgery at 2 days old to fix the coarctation. I had open heart at age 8 for the stenosis, performed by Dr. Leonard Bailey. I had a balloon valvuloplasty at age 26. I’m now at the point where I need a full valve replacement. Due to my complexities, it will be a sternotomy. I’m currently deciding which valve is best for me.
