talked to my surgeon today.
My right coronary artery does in fact originate from the left sinus. he is going to do a little bypass that he says should only add about 20 minutes and not much risk to the surgery and will greatly reduce my risk of sudden cardiac death :shock: .
And then he told me something great-
He thinks he can do the majority if not all of the surgery (PV replacement and bypass) with my heart beating!!!
I know this is a relatively new technique that is being used different places but I didn't know I was going to be a candidate.
I'm all for being on bypass for as little time as possible.
thump thump thump!

You do realize you resurrected a three year old thread, right?
Not that there is anything wrong with that but just wanted to point it out.

Quick -question is - to those who have gone before us - how fast / or slow does a valve number drop within a month time. ? Any thoughts - comments. Surgery due in 5 weeks - feb 9 and am at .5 something. Showing severe but hardly any symptoms - albeit for when I do some fast walking - which I've learned not to do Cardio man & surgeon feel I'll do fine for February. ( other wise I would assume they have yelled "NOW " and they both were fine with feb. ( unless symptoms start. ). But no dizzy. No fainting. No. Swollen ankles - What else would I look for ? Thx as always for ur help. Nancy Jane.
