“Everything went smooth as silk and better than expected”. Surgery wrapped up just before 5pm and went amazingly well! Ross still has a long road of recovery but he absolutely crushed step 1! There was question of if he would need a valve replacement in addition to the aortic aneurysm repair. He will need the aortic valve replaced someday but today was not that day. We hope he gets put lots and lots of memories on that valve before he needs to upgrade to a newer model!
