for those with aorta work, what were your stats prior to surgery?

[chrisc]

i know a lot of this is in signatures, but thought it would be interesting to see it in a single thread. something along the lines of:

valve: ie BAV or TAV with or without regurgitation

dilatation or aneurysm size/location: ie size in cm/mm, and location (root, acending, arch, etc)

 

[Roberta]

Pre-surgery:
BAV with mild regurgitation and severe stenosis with calcification.
Mild dilation of ascending aorta.

 

[Bryan B]

Pre-Surgery:

Autograft aortic valve (post ross procedure) with moderate regurgitation

Aortic root: 5.4cm
Ascending aorta: 5.8cm

 

[ElectLive]

BAV: thickened and calcified, moderate to severe stenosis, mild regurgitation
Aorta: 5.0 cm aneurysm @ the ascending aorta (with rapid growth) repaired -- 4.1 cm mild dilation @ the aortic root left alone and has returned to normal since surgery

 

[Madsometimes]

BAV with mild to moderate regurgitation, and an aortic root of 4.8 cm which was replaced with a Dacron graft.

 

[Noyolk]

BAV with severe AS, moderate to severe aortic reguritation , Ascending aorta 5.0cm, sinus 3.9 Root not replaced, 30mm dacron graft.

 

[Rachel]

BAV - moderate aortic regurgitation and stenosis
Ascending aorta 5.2cm
