I had my 6 month follow up yesterday and after much discussion, the cardio has decided "no surgery at this point". The change in the echo was minimal, however I am still in the severe category. He made the usual recommendations re: modified activity, no heavy lifting and to give him a call if there is any change in symptoms.
One new change was that he noted my pulmonary valve has mild-moderate stenosis with mild to moderate regurg. as well. He said that they won't know what to do about this, until I go in for AV surgery. They would decide what to do with the pulmonary valve at that point.
Has any one else been in this situation?
Thanks to everyone for all your support on this forum! It is great to be part of this wonderful VR. family.
So...hope you are making room for me Steve and have poured me a drink
