Hi. I am 69 yr old female. I have Sinus of Valsalva 4.6 cm aneurysm. Found this out in Jan 26 after an ECHO. I have paroxdymal afib 2024 and a 3.6cm taa 2026.. The SOV was a new discovery. I have some minor leakage from aortuc valvem Been on B.P. meds since 2010. Using flecainide, diltiazem, and Eliquis for afib and b.p. . From my research it looks like I will eventually need surgery for the 4.6 SOV, taa, and aortic valve. Does anyone on here have SOV aneurysm now or had it repaired? I live in Florida in a smaller city area with one surgeon who could do one of the surgeries. The closest big medical centers with lots of staff and experience are Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, U of Alabsma Birmingham, and U of Florida. Any suggestions or stories ofcwhat to exoect would be appreciated. This is a pretty scary surgery to face by myself.
