Yes. They cut the aorta off the heart and replace the riot area with a Dacron tube. Then they reimplement the valve hopefully. Otherwise they put in artificial.

Success rate on this type of surgery?

Depends where you look and what mortality rate you are looking at. Roughly 10% mortality nationally give or take. 1-2% mortality in Cleveland.

There are a lot of variables in that though.

Just reread that. It comes off different than intended.

I’ll be good. Recovery will be a bitch though.

Hey frank., remember my adoption story? Received an email from my birth sister. She just had an echo and they found the same issue in her. Hers is only 4.3cm though. Mine has grown to 5.5.

Thanks frank. I’ll take all I can get. Although I do t intend to go toward the light unless it’s really pretty. Hopefully it’s red flashing and instinct kicks in. Run Forrest run.

Better chance of a successful surgical outcome in Cleveland

Three times the chances on being shot in the chest while leaving.

What does the recovery entail?

I'm gonna guess having your chest bones fuse back together is just a damn painful process.

Don’t forget the sore deek from the Foley bag.

On the upside this is the first time TW has ever been 5.5 anything.

Recovery is long. 2 days icu. 5-7 more inpatient. 6 weeks doing nothing followed by 6 weeks cardiac rehab.

I’m just worried and bitching though. We have a couple brothers here that have been through various open heart surgeries and don’t say much.

They’ve reached out to me and have no idea how much I appreciate it.
