Well today I had my appointment with my Cardiologist and it turns out he is just a Cardiologist. He said he will referred me with the best surgeon in the valley if and when we get to that point. I’m from McAllen Tx they call it the valley. Im already looking for TAA surgeon in Houston Tx. I actually found one with a lot of experience of a cardiologist and 25 yrs experience on Teoaric Surgery but he is 80 yrs old and that’s worries me cause we don’t know in how long I might or might not need surgery. But for know I will keep looking and try to live the best life I can

Hi, well I happen to live in Houston, and my repair was done here, these are the two specialists that treated me:

Surgeon: Dr Anthony Estrera, probably the best in Houston and an absolute delight of a person

Cardiologist: Dr Siddharth Prakash, he is an aortic disease specialist, I call him an aneurysm nerd. There are videos of him in this forum talking about exercising and aneurysms, as he has done research in the subject. He is still my cardiologist, I see him every year.

They are both part of UT Health and communicate with each other.

Hope that helps
