Hi everyone
I want to thank everyone who has replied to my posts. I have another question.
I will be going to see a few surgeons over the next few days. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion about recommendations by the cardiologist versus the surgeon in regards to how to handle my surgey.
Do surgeons tend to be more aggressive in their thought process. Are they willing to take more risk then the cardio's. My cardio feels that a mechanical valve is the only way to go but he is sending me to NYU to get a feel on new procedures being done in the field of valve replacement. First he thought I should do a Ross then he changed his mind. He is a family frined and I am getting the feeling that he is being very conservative with me.
I know that I have to be comfortable with whatever valve or procedure that I do and that my cardio and surgeon must be on the same page. I am just looking for thoughts and situations that other have had when they were searching for surgeons.
Thanks
Rich
