About Me (In My Own Words)
I've known about the defect for years (bicuspid tricuspid valve) and now I have been told the operation is needed before symptoms develop!
I have few symptoms currently and have recently had my first child.
One of the surgeons has suggested something called PEARS which is a new treatment to prevent later issues with the Ross procedure.
PEARS stands for personalised external aortic root support - its new technology - I will be number 20 to get it in the UK (roughly).
There is little research and I'm not sure how much like a guinea pig I fell like being!
