I am a 58 year old woman just diagnosed with coarctation of aorta and biscupid aortic valve, as I have had it since I was born without knowing anything about it, it has come as something of a surprise! Is there anyone of a similar age who has same or similar willing to share your experience. I am due to have an aortic root replacement and valve replacement any day now, rather nervous but looking forward to getting \"back to normal\" hopefully. :roll:
Hi I am a 31 year old male and found out last year that I have coartation of aorta and bicuspid valve. Had mechanical valve fitted in january and just waiting to decide what procedure to have for the coarctation, open surgery or stent. Just weighing up the pros and cons of both procedures. Hope your surgery was ok and do you have any information about the coarctation of aorta, did you have any treatment for this yet?
feel free to ask me any questions about our defects which I will try to answer if I can.
Hello noonoo, i have recently realised that i have coarctation of aorta. I am 26 years old. I want to know what you're initial symptoms were. I feel like my heart is constricted, and pain/pressure in my left arm. Did this coarctation affect your eye pressure? i am genuinely concerned.
