Here's a question.
Regardless of which procedure you choose, if you're having open heart surgery, can/should the LAA be removed or sewn shut while they're in there?
I know I'd want that.

I was in a similar position: all set with Natale for an ablation when a new echo showed severe mitral regurgitation. Natale’s office said to get the valve fixed first—there were very clear about it.Quote

As for which to do first, I'd say do the valve first. It's the more important procedure, and also the much bigger one that will take months to reach full recovery, so get that out of the way first. It's also a good idea to do that first because sometimes valve replacement can cause afib. But if you want Natale to do the ablation, I would call his office and talk to them about this. I would imagine he'll have some input for you.

Can you please explain what the LAA is?

I am also wondering If my afib is because of the bicuspid valve, does that mean that it will stop once I have the valve replacement?

Hi Daisy, Are you going to have open heart surgery? Or is it something you can have done non invasively?
Carey, how did they place the watchman in there? How long ago did they do it? How are you doing with it?

The next thing is the TEE and cardiac catherization which I am quite afraid of death or stroke after receiving my instructions today. Yikes!

As Carey said, mine was done in June. It wasn’t non-invasive, but much less invasive than open heart surgery. I got a “new part” via a catheter though initially it looked like I’d need open heart surgery. The cardio thoracic surgeon I consulted with at Cedars Sinai recommended this instead of open heart. When they were thinking open heart it would have been robotically done which means that they don’t open the breastbone, but rather make a four inch incision under the right breast.Quote
