On my heart caths, echos, and other test my dr revealed that my aorta only had 2 cusps and not three...i also have a heart murmur that was not revealed until a year ago .........i am wondering do you still have a murmur after aorta replacement

This is exactly what I was just diagnosed with.
I had my aortic valve replaced when I was 9. It made my murmur pretty much disappear for several years. Now my valves are leaking again (I'm 33 three, though, so we're doing well, really), and I have a very bad murmur. Haha. But they are going to replace the valves again. The murmur is the sound of the leaking blood so it will be more noticeable the more it leaks. Usually after surgery leaking is minimal and you won't have so much of a murmur unless/until the valve starts leaking again.
