My cardiologist has recommended an out of state surgeon who he says specializes in high risk surgery of this nature. I checked the hospital and found that it was quite small compared to Cleveland Clinic where my previous operations were performed. Dear PA, since you had your previous bypass surgeries here and since our cardiac surgeons are very experienced in performing in second and third open heart surgeries, I think you should be evaluated to have your aortic valve replacement here at the Cleveland Clinic. To do so, I suggest that you call the phone number below and ask to be connected to the office of the surgeon who performed your prior surgeries. I hope you find this information useful.
