Dr. Roselli was my surgeon 7 months ago. I had an aortic aneurysm caused by a bicuspid valve, unfortunately, he could not spare the valve because there was too much plaque buildup on the valve leaflets, so we had to replace the valve and a section of my aorta. Plus I needed a single bypass, so I got several procedures with one open-heart surgery. Feeling great here! I’ve started back running, exercising every day. Dr. Roselli‘s team is the best.
Jim, We are so glad to hear that Dr. Eric Roselli and the Cleveland Clinic team took such great care of you!!! This just made our day. For any patient who would like to learn more about Dr. Roselli, Jim's surgeon, you can see his patient reviews and surgeon biography at www.heart-valve-surgery.com/surgeons/dr-Eric-Roselli-Cleveland-Ohio.php.
Hi Flexyco, Great to hear you are aware of your bicuspid aortic valve. That awareness is so important as this disease is under-diagnosed and under-treated.
@@kchilz32 I don’t understand the question . Dr saved the valve, fixed the aneurysm and clipped an appendage I the back of the heart to prevent blood clots.
I learn so much from your site. Thank you. 56 and had a emergent Type A dissection while on vacation. Home 30 days later; four subsequent surgeries. In Seattle. That was three years ago and I am still kick’s. I have a pig valve, never met my surgeon and got home safely to Seattle. Scary …. Your site helps me. So much to learn. I’ve also had AML leukemia twice; one before my dissection and reoccurred after. Stem cell survivor of two years now. Crazy but here I am. I’ve often wondered if I should have gone outside of Seattle but far too challenging given all my treatments. Keep helping us learn please.
Hi Jan, Thanks for sharing your aneurysm dissection story with us. My goodness. How very scary. You have been through a lot. We are glad to hear that our educational materials are helping you. Our thoughts are with you!
Hi Adam I'm from sudan and medical student when I was 6 month old idiagnosd with vsd now I'm 24 years and diagnosed with severe AR due to prolapsed aortic cusp inside right ventricle and most regurgitated blood in RV and some pulmonary stenosis the doctor said to me its prevent eisenmenger reaction LV 7,9 EF 55% so what is appropriate surgical method for me can you tell any cardiac surgeon in 🇺🇸 us about my case and I hope to give an answer by the way I'm one of your flowers 💐 thanks so much
Hi Hamad, You raise a great question about optimal surgical procedures for severe aortic valve regurgitation. As each patient case and anatomy is unique, I would encourage you to discuss this with your medical team. That way, you can obtain direct advice about potential next steps and the different ways to appropriately treat your aortic regurgitation after reviewing your specific medical records. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
I had this done at johns hopkins baltimore by the best(Dr Duke Cameron) in 2009 Since then ive lost 270lbs,and i can run 10 miles now He did an excellent job My heart is ticking like a timex
I'm meeting Dr. Duke Cameron next month! I will be flying from Hawaii. I'm excited to have the valve sparing procedure as an option. My brother sees him as well. How was recovery from this procedure?

Hii I'm grateful to u adam ..what is life expectancy after valve sparing aortic valve surgery or valve replacement with root implantation
Hii how this was detected by that u have type A dissection????
How are you feeling now Jim?
@@kchilz32 doing well, thank you! Back to trail running, lots of cardiac rehabilitation, getting everything conditioned, but it takes time
I recently learned I have a bicuspid aortic valve. I'm 47 but no problems yet. Let's hope it stays that way.
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Hi Flexyco, Great to hear you are aware of your bicuspid aortic valve. That awareness is so important as this disease is under-diagnosed and under-treated.
Dr. Eric Roselli will be operating on my husband in February 2023. We are so hopeful.
How did your husband do?
@@kchilz32 he did so well. Dr. Roselli is the best ever. I would highly recommend him.
@@glendamock2041 that’s great! Did his issue stem from a connective tissue disorder?
@@kchilz32 I don’t understand the question . Dr saved the valve, fixed the aneurysm and clipped an appendage I the back of the heart to prevent blood clots.
@@glendamock2041 I’m sorry a genetic disorder like Marfan syndrome which it’s typical with aortic aneurysms
