I had a stroke 5 days after my surgery because the surgeon said it would add $10,000 to the cost of the surgery to use a filter that would have prevented it. Not using the filter cost significantly more than $10,000 and the use of my left side.
I have a congenital Bi cusp aortic valve detected with i was age 62. I was getting ego cardiograms yearly. I also have a heart murmur . Age 72, I had a lingering bronchitis,my doctor suggested a Lung CAT SCAN, lungs were strong, but pick up the Ascending Aortic valve turns out aneurysm 4.5. I had open heart surgery 2017.I have a cow valve, tri cusp and angioplasty repair with the ascending part of the aortic valve. Fast forward January 2024, same situation, Bronchitis/CAT SCAN, detected Aneurysm same place .I was scheduled for surgery NYU for prosthetic aortic valve replacement. Due to a hiccup with my insurance, surgery was put on hold. I research online and found a Cardiologist specializing in Aortic valve aneurysm, at Weil Cornell hospital nyc. he looked over my test results, explaining details documented after my surgery 2017 indicates no change today. He wouldn’t do surgery, suggested CAT SCAN every year. live a healthy, productive life.I am still teaching. My Heart, My lungs and Valve are doing fine. CN
Wow... That lady probably saved your life. I have a consultation with a surgeon tomorrow. I certainly hope I can do the repair instead of replacement because open heart surgery scares the hell out of me. Happy for your great result! 💪
Got mine replaced both aortic as well as mitral with quadraple by pass. Went back home in 6 days. Today is my 30th day after my surgery. I'm absolutely alright

Why would the surgeon ask the patient how to go about fixing their heart valve problem!
To give them options to match their lifestyle. Some people don't want to be on blood thinners.
