Q : 1

09/22/2012		 My father has had a bovine aortic valve for about 10 years. He has just recently been diagnosed with aortic stenosis again. What are his options and what do you recommend he do? He is 74 years old.

A reoperation is certainly a possibility. Your father's cardiologist will know best regarding his medical history and if he is a candidate. I would start there. If you are interested in scheduling a consultation here at UMMS, please contact our office 410-328-5842. Jo Ann Sikora, CRNP Aortic Valve Program Coordinator Nurse Practitioner, Cardiac Surgery
