About Me (In My Own Words)
I'm a 48 yr old male that was born with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve. I have been monitoring it's progress for the past 18 years with annual Echo's. The Aortic Valve Stenosis has gotten severe and the valve is heavily calcified. I've been experiencing some symptoms, and after a full cardiac work up, it's time for valve replacement. After reviewing my Pre-Surgery Angiogram results, my amazing Dr. Madani suggested I have a CT Scan with contrast to verify something that looked wrong with my right coronary artery.
After review of the CT scan Dr. Madani confirmed that I have an anomalous right coronary artery, which surgery can and will replace. Please pray for me on 5/30/2017 when I'm in surgery.
