How many surgeries Thanks bro. Would like to talk to you.i did referred to Stanford and UCSF and both cited risk as 2 percent(Stanford said 2 percent mortality and 1 percent stroke and tens of 1 percent of morbidities) , UCSF said may be total risk of 2 percent citing second surgery. Though...

Thanks Vikas bro. Which hospital you had bentall procedure and at what size. I would like to talk to you

How long back you had surgery? And any issues post surgery since then? My biggest fear is that after this surgery any comorbidities like renal failure, brain dysfunction etc (mortality is kind of out of hand) and probability of third surgery sooner than later. I see even in bentall procedure...

Pellicle can you please review above study and provide your expert feedback on this also

Got this one bicuspid aneurysm study at https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacadv.2023.100626 where though sample size is modest shows risks from 5.1-5.5, 5.5-5?9 and 6 as 0.4,0.7 and 3 respectively annually So still not able to understand why such intrusive surgery is recommended

??

I did very well but kind of my anxiety is top of the roof where at one time I was about to go to emergency. My mind keep saying why the surgery is risk is 1 percent per year now when the surgery risk is 2-3 percent. However I wanted to do surgery max till 5.8-5?9 to avoid 6cm threshold. And for...

Yes I have insurance from my work and yes job is little stable and I will have disability leave for sometime if everything goes well. However if something goes south , I can get fired leading to mine and my whole family legal status ceased asking to leave the country. I am not even sure what...

Yeah I feel why I always did the follow up to know this aneurysm from start and chasing it down from 5 to 5.5 took 7 years. I am perfectly ok to wait more but no doctor here is helping me. Everybody is saying like there is some emergency standing over me while I see nothing like that. Also even...

How to overcome these fears.. can anyone guide me

Yup 100 percent agree with whatever you said above, in case I would not been understanding all of above what you said I would not be crying in front of all of you . For me the surgeon said typically risk of mortality in such surgery is 1 percent but yours is second surgery hence it is 2 percent...

Hi Lisa and Pellicle No I am no way discrediting that 1 percent is serious and I understand every year 1 percent dissecting is a big number. I was just telling in FB support group 2 young member first timer surgery around 5.3 aneurysm didn't made through and died from peri operative stroke ...

Thanks a lot for your wisdom , I have to do surgery I know some day and definitely want to do before it hits me. I think timing is impossible to plan for. I m just thinking what is important for me to do before surgery . I have seen few patients who didn't made through the surgery and my heart...

Yes and all the recommendation are for first surgery that risk of waiting is now more than surgery. For second surgery when my risk of surgery is more than first, should I be followed same guideline or diff, no one answers me. Also for the surgical risk being told, I am told about only less...

Other thing comes to mind current year risk is 1 percent as per this kaiser study and why to take 2 -3 percent risk of surgery
