Aortic Valve Stenosis: Symptoms, Risks & Treatment

[@noahmesser5023]

I had My Aortic Valve replaced February of last year (2024) with a mechanical valve. I had a Bicupsid aortic valve which turned into a unicupsid valve.

Hi Noah, Congrats on your successful aortic valve replacement last year. Interesting to learn that your bicuspid aortic valve was actually a unicuspid aortic valve. By chance, have you seen this video with Dr. Pollock about unicuspid aortic valves - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpWwfIN3pLJ6jMU.
