I am having my aortic valve replaced on April 24, 2002 with a Cryolife Synergraft aortic homograft. The technique my surgeon will be using is a "mini-sternotomy" where the entire sternum is not split...just the top portion. This is supposed to leave a smaller scar, heal faster, and leave some structural integrity to the chest.
Are any of you (or have any of you) having/had this procedure? I've also requested a "cosmetic close" ... I told my surgeon that I'm still hoping to join the senior Chippendale's dance review!
