Help Support Valve Replacement Forums:
Moderate stenosis and mild insufficiency increasing slowly since birth due to fused leaflet bicuspid aortic valve. After checking out a possible Hollenhosrt Plaque in my eye, and then looking for signs of stroke (of which there was none) imaging found a 5.3cm aneurysm in my aorta. And so, here I am.

AVR with tissue valve; Repair 5.3cm aneurysm in proximal arch with Dacron graft.
Status: still alive, life back to normal.
- Medications
- 75mg (3x25mg) metoprolol ER once daily. 81mg aspirin. 40mg Atorvastatin, even though my cholesterol levels are well under 200. I HIGHLY recommend melatonin to help with metropolol/propranolol-related sleep issues when first starting.
