My doctor is hoping to do a mini-sternotomy to replace my aortic valve. He said this should be possible as long as there are no other problems and he only needs to work on the aortic valve. He'll do a 4-5" incision, move a portion of bone to the side and go through the aorta to access the valve and I should have an easier/faster recovery.
Has anyone had this? I am hoping he can go this route, would love to have a faster recovery.
Thanks,
Lori
