Hi, I am the son of a dairy farmer in south western Pennsylvania. After 10 years following the slow closing my aortic valve
It became critical on Oct. 9, 2013.
I had the valve replaced with a Carpentier Edwards magna ease prosthesis. At the same time I had a triple coronary by-pass, tricuspid valve repair, ligation left atria appendage, wires for pacemaker and a feeding tube installed.
I have had 3 + years of a wonderful life since. I am doing all of the things I did as a young man. Hiking the Appalachian Trail, swimming, bicycling, etc. I am happy!!
