Re-operative aortic valve surgery to place a long-lasting mechanical valve, remains a good option for select low-risk patients. Since I have relocated my cardiac surgery practice to Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital in 2019, I am honored that so many patients from the past have chosen to follow me here for their care.
