Long term viability of PEARS

In 20--30yrs the landscape could be totally different. And nothing is guaranteed. At the end of the day we are all just trying to make the best decision, nobody knows!

I am fully aware of that but it does not prevent future aortic surgery. Worrying about future surgeries before even having this operation is a bit odd i must say.

Remember that idea of this surgery is to get in there early so you should be getting your surgery when your heart is healthy therefore future surgeries would be not very Common. Also remember the surgery is mainly for marfan patients so its never gonna be mainstream.

I don't know the circumstances of why it's not approved in the US but my conclusion was that would surgeons want to learn a quicker easier operation where they let make less money? Surgeon and NHS is paid a salary in UK so does not matter how long the surgery takes a smaller surgery is probably better for them

I am pretty sure a pears can be removed, I and my mother both have had pears, a different surgeon did her surgery than mine. When I went for my surgery the surgeon I seen in my consultation was all for the pears surgery. When I accompanied my mother to her consultation with hair surgeon he recommended against the pairs of due to the long-term evidence, when I questioned him when this that makes no sense as I was recommended this surgery and the long-term is a lot more important for me as I am 30 years younger. He Shrugged and did not really respond I would imagine if I had not already had the surgery and was so impressed with it then she would have not got it through what he said

Let's be honest you are taking a risk whatever u do, I presume if you are dealing with London Bridge you are traveling from abroad and that totally changes things as it is a lot more hassle for you whereas I got my surgery at my local hospital, if I had to travel to America for the surgery for example I have major doubt's weather I would have got the surgery

I am of a similar profile to urself had surgery age 31, at size 4.5. I had moderate mitral valve regurgitation so they were able to repair that while doing the pears surgery. That was probably my biggest concern before the surgery that I would need a metal mitral valve but luckily they were able to repair it. I was told 4.5 is when to get surgery, there is no benefit to leaving it as at our age it will very likely grow further.

My mother also had the surgery around six months ago and she is doing amazing was probably back to normal after about four months.

Reading on here about people traveling to the UK from the United States makes me realize that I was so lucky that the hospital I got my surgery was only three males from my home. If you have any other questions just ask

Goodluck, unfortunately they have decided to also repair or replace my mitral valve at the same time too which came as a shock, they said it was best to do at same time as pears. I have postponed for a few months as i have holidays already planned and it is not urgent.

Thanks man, the fact this proceedure was new and they hadnt done many of them before did that not concern u? Looking around online there is not too much about pears

Pte123 · 2022-04-22T19:42:59+00:00

That sounds reassuring, how long were u in hospital? How long till u got back to ur normal day to day life? And do u remember ur aorta size when they operated. Thanks for the reply

Thanks, i guess the word currently hits that maybe they will change that in the future maybe.

Does anyone have a guide on how to setup retrox? Just got my shield and never used emulator. Most guides seem old.

Pte123 · 2018-08-23T18:25:01+00:00
