Hi all,
I am scheduled to have an AVR with an ON-X valve tomorrow. The pulmonary valve which was placed in the aortic valve position from my Ross Procedure 7 years ago is leaking too much (Mod-Sev) and it is as good a time as any to fix it why I am still symptom free and have no LV dysfunction. "While the hood is open", the surgeon is supposed to change out the pulmonic homograph due to some scar tissue build-up (moderate stenosis according to the echo). I have no regrets about choosing the Ross in the first place, but wish I would have gotten a little better mileage out of it! Hopefully I will post to the Post Surgery are in few days.
