Hello, I am new to the Forum and have learned a lot from reading everyones posts. I am scheduled for a valve sparing aortic root replacement at Northwestern in Chicago and would like to hear from anyone who has had the same experience or has had heart surgery at Northwestern. I live in Southeastern Wisconsin so will be doing a little traveling to get there.
I am 35 y/o and was diagnosed with a dilitation of my sinus of valsalva about two years ago after my doctor heard a murmur. Like everyone else I am very anxious, I never dreamed this could happen there is no family history of aneurysms or anything that would predispose me to having this problem. In fact my surgeon said with my history and age it would be extremely rare that this would occur. Thank you ahead of time for anything you could share. Kris
