Hi Folks, I started a thread a short time ago asking about what symptoms would feel like. I got some excellent advise to see my cardio soonest to address some chest tightness I'd felt. Well, looks like that was sufficient for my cardio to advise surgery. He said my condition was severe enough (67% gradiant, .6 size, and 4.1 mps flow) that with the symptom I felt from running I should get the surgery before the end of the year. So, I'm getting a second opinion on Tuesday (28th of Oct) and we'll see if the diagnosis and surgery recommendation sticks. I'm still in a bit of shock that my stenosis got so bad so rapidly after being stable for ten years. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on what I should look out for as my surgery approaches in terms of avoiding pitfalls, common mistakes, overlooked issues, etc.?
