I am not sure why they can graft ascending aortas and replace valves with TAVR, but open the chest for the root. Possibly because it rises out of the chest. I just hope I can go 20 years. That’d put me at 78. I could live with that vs a dissection. I don’t have any family members with AD, never smoked, rarely drink, eat right with decent BP, which I’ve read is the key. Glad you are still going strong!!
