A member asked:

Bav triv regurg with 45-47mm aortic root known for 4 yrs, 32 yo when is it likely i need surgery and what is prognosis & life quality after root surge

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Research now: Had genetic testing? Some genetic profiles might dictate repair now. You are getting close to root size 5cm where repair recommended. Now is the time to research surgical options and centers and decide what is best for you. It is much safer and more successful to do this electively than wait for emergency situation to occur
