Im happy to report that on Thursday may 26 Dr. Igor Gregoric Texas Heart Institute at St. Lukes in Houston will install my ON_X Arotic Valve. This will be my 2nd OHS. I do not have any symptoms yet. But with my valve area 0.88 and my artery of 4.4 ,I forced the issue. From what I have learned from this forum the cardiologist will take you down the road as far as they can. I gave them two options do it now so I can get on with life or I will go to Cleveland to get it done, And I told them if I did anything physical I had chest discomfort, Thinking that the insurance would give them the green light with that information. The cardiologist told me all the dangers of the surgery. I told him that I want to focus on the flag and if I land in the sand trap we would get out the wedge and dig our way out. THANK YOU ALL!!! The GOOD LORD willing and if the creek dont rise I will post after surgery. Once again THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
