Just coming up 1 year post AVR age 47- but just had pre-op today for my redo:-(
PPM - stenosis now classed as severe - just been in hospital for 5days with pre-syncope. My aortic root in normal range but a fair chance I will need root enlargement to accommodate a larger valve (I have 19mm carbomedics)
My original surgeon at 3 month echo said not to worry about high gradient s- normal with that kind of valve- lucky for me I didn't take his word for it!
Really worried as redo obviously carries higher risk and angry that this has happened to me.
