Went to the hospital, checked in, assigned a bed, pre-op nurse was just about to put my IV in when my surgeon came in and said he and the cardiac team had been up all nght on an emergency surgery and asked that we waitiuntil tomorrow morning. Dry run successful - Take 2 tomorrow. Best to have a well rested surgical team!

I've been diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis, Severe Mitral Regurgitation and 100% blockage of my Right Coronary artery. I am scheduled for surgery on April 8, 2021, for replacement surgery for both my Aortic and Mitral valves as well as bypass of my RCA. Is there anyone on this feed that has been through aortic and mitral replacement coupled with bypass of one or more arteries? I would love to hear how you are doing.

Erin Cummings Susan- just spotted your post. I had my aortic valve replaced via OHS 17 years ago. I also have a blocked R artery and was recently diagnsoed with severe triciuspid regurgitation. Not sure what my options are as I probably can't do another OHS. no words of wisdom here, but wanted to tell you I'll be thinking of you on the 8th.

Walter Fiorelli I had my surgery on March 8, 2021. God bless you! It's well worth it.
