@langford41 Thanks, I already had my surgery 6 years ago in Houston by Dr Estrera who I think is the best surgeon in Houston (I'm not sure the world ;)), he is just an amazing surgeon and person.

But what I recommended was an aortic disease specialist which is a cardiologist not a surgeon, a surgeon will see you a couple of times before and after surgery and then never again (hopefully), the cardiologist will follow you up for life. It makes a huge difference when he/she is an aortic specialist. I am being seen by Dr Prakash in Houston, who appears in many of the videos posted in this forum. Being followed up by someone who is dedicated to understanding aortic diseases, the genetics behind it and everything that may affect it (exercise, BP, etc) makes this whole process so much easier. Dr Prakash checks the evolution of my bicuspid valve every year and every 4-5 years orders full aortic, neck and brain MRIs to make sure no other aneurysms are appearing (I also had a brain aneurysm, also repaired)

He shows to be at Cedars Sinai on the web?
