I have this condition and im fine but 14 years old. Should i go ahead and get this surgery to prevent valve replacement in the future and are you sore afterwards?
I found out about this last summer. I remain active almost everyday..play soccer,run,and skate.im am fit and have only noticed being easily tired. Just posting this to tell my experience so far.
@matthewcguenther - This is an approved surgery and done quite frequently at Cleveland Clinic. In 2010, we performed 1753 aortic valve operations. 5 % were valve repairs and 4 % were valve-sparing operations. If you want more information - please contact us at heartcenter@ccf.org.
About 6 weeks ago i was diagnosed with a BAV. After 18 months of being symptomatic with chest pain and shortness of breath while in the gym, at work and cycling, i am seeing the cardiac surgeon this afternoon to find out what can be done, i am hoping a repair can be done and i can carry on with what was my very active lifestyle, crapping my pants though.
@darwishish i am also 18 and was diagnosed with this yesterday. As long as you remain asymptomatic, a surgery will be far in your future. It could be 30-40 years from now.
Next time you visit your doctor or cardiologist ask about acending aortic anerysum. I had a BAV and it was great but an anerysum will sometimes accompany a BAV. That's what got me! Surgery really isn't all that bad.

Thank-you for this video. I'm sad that the FDA has not yet approved such repairs in the U.S. I'm 27 and found out when I was 25. Changed my life.

The bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart defect. It is estimated to exist in 1 to 2 % of the population, predominating in males.
