Im a little late in writing about my amazing surgery. I underwent a massive 12 hour repair surgery on May 3rd. Dr. Unai and his team fixed so many heart and vascular issues as my vascular system diasected in Jan. Of 2012. 6 months later my aorta valve tore. I survived a miracle surgery at Nortons Hospital Audoben in Louisville, KY on Aug. 1st 2012. They did their best and their best kept me alive thanks to Dr. Abdhul Attumn. Although I wasnt quite right after surgery I lived. My heart got bogged down over the years and my bp dropped out of nowhere that floored me. To make a long story short, Cleavland Clinic just successfully repaired my corroded arteries, my illiacs and all arteries running of of my aorta artery. They installed a mechanical valve, fixed a whole in my heart that had been there since my birth. They repaired my ascending aorta, the arch, the descending aorta and most of my Thorasic Aorta. They also repaired blood flow to my right kidney as well as adding blood flow to my right leg where a cabbage procedure had been done with my first surgery. My leg is getting stronger and my kidney function is A ok. I have the best kidney function Ive had for 7 years. Im preparing to go back for my final repair. They will be completing repairing my Thorasic and Abdominal Aorta. I am so blessed. God has saved me 3 times with the help of the most excellent surgeons I could have ever asked for. I recommend Cleavland Clinic to anyone that needs heart and/or vascular surgeries. The staff is amazing and help you every step of the way.
