Hello, I am a new member to this forum. I am a 31 year old female who has bicuspid aortic valve wtih aortic root dilation and resulting aortic insufficiency. I have recently been having increase in sx (palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, fatigue, tachycardia..) I had a second opinion from a new cardiologist regarding the root dilation and surgery was discussed-most likey root repair with valve spairing.... Given my small BSA, my level of dilation is off the chart.. I had a recent CT-A and am now awaiting hte results...
Anyhow, I am thrilled to find this forum and would love to hear from others with similar experiences... when was surgery indicated, what symptoms were you having, how long were you in hte hospital, how was your recover, and anything else you may think good to know..
I apreciate it advance any thoughts or advice and responses you can provide..
thanks!!
Leah
