I am 59 and had a septal myectomy and had my aortic stenosis fixed this past December. I watched all the graphic videos I could find on line that showed the surgery...you don't wanna do that...it scared me to death. My outflow was basically blocked so I needed the surgery...I feel so much better now...but I worried so much before the surgery that I nearly didn't have it. I was so fearful. Lynn ( I had mine done at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Mn)

Hi lynnkay, can you tell me what was the total expense at mayo clinic for myectomy? And did you ever faint before getting the surgery done if so how frequently? Please help.
