Hi Everyone,
My surgery was May 13; 10 hr surgery. Had an Aortic Arch Replacement, composite aortic root replacement (st. jude valve); reconstruction of left carotid and innominate arteries. I spent 9 days in ICU due to complications. I ended up with total heart block and needed a St. Jude pacemaker. Finally came home May 24. I'm glad to be home, can't wait for the healing process to be over, too.
