Hello Everyone in the group,
I’m 37 years male patient & married few years before & I have happy couple year happy baby boy. Life was going well. But,
Couple days before I get my CT report of cardiovascular. It says “Dilated ascending thoracic aorta is measuring is 4.5cm (EGG says 4.4CM)
It looks like aneurysm. My cardiologist told me to follow up at 4 months. I have bicuspid valve( Which I know couple week before).
I’m so depressed after unexpected retails & I couldn’t sleep & eat well after result. My feelings is out of control now.
When I got web, social & YouTube platform of HeartValveSurgery.com and it’s fantastic founder, Patient Advocate ADAM PICK, heart patients, doctors & others cardio community . I got little hope to share my feelings & information.
I have a couple questions to all group members.
Can my thoracic ascending aorta valve aneurysm can be repaired with bicuspid valve rather then replacement ?
Which doctor & hospital do you will suggest for my treatment in NYC ?
Your perfect answer would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Stay Strong.

Deena Z Hi Karma, it is hard news, but you will be okay. I also went to Mt Sinai in Manhattan for my mitral valve.(East side). Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan is also very good. Both are ranked in the top ten for cardiac surgery in the US.
See patient reviews, physician biography, videos and contact information for Dr. Craig Smith, heart surgeon, in New York, New York.

Deena Z Karma, the recommendations (reviews) are from this website. Both hospitals are outstanding. They will need a copy of your ECHO report and the disc showing the ECHO images, so you might want to start working on that. Your cardiologist may be able to directly send it to these surgeons, but generally, it is the patient that sends it.
There are many heart patients on this website that have had your surgery, so you may need to ask your question again to obtain some answers. You wanted to know, I believe, if your aorta valve would have to be replaced or could it be repaired. So.....warriors, please come to Karma's rescue and help him out!
He is only 37 years old and it is all too new to him!!
