Should I get a second opinion about surgery?

You should get a second opinion from a center that handles these issues in volume. I think all those you have on your list do. A year ago I got a second opinion from Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. They found 2 congenital issues and a genetic issue as well as an age related issue that the local cardiologist and hospital completely missed. I wouldn't have made it until this past Christmas.

Oh wow. So glad you’re ok! Very good advice, thanks so much. I hadn’t even considered the fact that additional medical issues might also be uncovered when consulting for 2nd opinion. Appreciate your input!
