Hello Ladytrue
Five years ago (nearly six), I had a aortic aneurysm, I was dilated by 8.8cm (I was lucky they found it), my aortic valve had stopped working and I had severe aortic regurgitation (heart bleeding back in on itself instead of circulating around the body). I had a aortic root and valve replacement, I now have a mechanical valve.
If there is anything I can do to put your mind at rest, i'll be happy to do so. You are most certainly not alone. Wishing you all the best.

Mine is 4.7 and I too have a bicuspid valve. Mine hasn't grown in 10 years, but I am now having symptoms and thinking my surgeouns will now likely do the surgery even though I am not 5.0>
I have been living in AGONY and pure hell because I was told the surgery for this has a survival rate of only 10 percent. I would love to hear your thoughts. What hospital and Dr did yours?
