La's Profile

Hello everyone! My name is Lizbeth-Anne and I am having open heart surgery on August 2 at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. I have 3 congenital coronary fistulae, rather rare, that need to be removed and a repair so that blood can flow normally. I have a mitral valve prolapse that I hope can be repaired, not replacement. I hope these repairs will drastically reduce my PVC's, arrhythmia. I've asked for the rigid plate closure method as my research shows it looks like a good option rather than the standard method. Has anyone had any experience with the "Heart Hugger" or "Posthorax vest"? If anyone can give me any feedback on any of this I would appreciate it. Thank-you and I hope you're doing well. Sincerely, Lizbeth
