Dilated sinus of valsalva measuring 4.0 cm

Posted by barbaracv @barbaracv, 6 days ago

Today I found out that in addition to my aortic aneurysm, I also have a dilated sinus of valsalva measuring 4.0 cm. Does anyone have any history of this?

Kristen Sell-Dotten, is my surgeon. Im going metal since I'm 61 and don't want another procedure in 10- 15 years. But, the downside is I will have to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life. That seems like a small price to play rather than to have heart surgery again in 10 years. Best of luck to your husband who is his surgeon? I'm sure he's going to be great when he recovers from this.
