My husband has his aortic aneurysm repaired and aortic valve replaced last summer after 2 years of watch and wait. When he was diagnosed, neither of us had ever heard or, or knew anything about aortic aneurysms.
We've since started Rock From The Heart to raise awareness of aortic disease and are planning an event in Minnesota - Feb 9 2019!
Our goal is to connect with others around the country, sharing experiences and hopefully saving lives along the way.

Hi Lynn,
I am in the same situation but live out of state. Planning to visit Rochester next month to become familiar with Mayo. Would like to know others who might live there and have this problem. You have a great attitude that “knowledge is power”. Knowledge has helped me research and make future surgery choices, but it is also not easy. I wish you well. Deby

Good morning Denise. Yes, it sounds like we have similar things regarding this aneurysm. My next test will probably be in Nov here in CA. I am two years older than you. Mostly my exercise is yoga and walking our dog.  I was told not to lift heavy objects also.Mayo is in Minnesota and rated as one of the best, if not the best.  Just wish I lived closer to them.   Have a good Saturday Denise.  Deby

Rochester is a very user friendly town. Caters to patient needs. Mayo is awesome to work with. They are great at juggling appointments to help out the out of town patients. Mayo has been #1 in Cardiac for many years.
