Yes, I had a CTA of the neck. Everything looked fine. I have really been feeling better lately - see my post in Heart Talk. Neck pain (and a few other pains) continue and I'll certainly try to get to the bottom of it but I'm happy to be feeling better from a heart/lung capacity standpoint.

Hi,

Yup.... I am in the club too. My aortic valve also has a dacron graft.

I agree with Ross. I do not think the dacron causes any adverse effects. I am living well, and really don't think my life style is any different or any more restricted than someone who has had valve replacement without the graft.

As for not having an aneurysm treated, I think that is a worse game than playing "Pull the Trigger" on a 6-shooter loaded with only a single bullet.
