I had the same problem, same valve. Went to Emory to Dr Vinod Thourani. This was 5 years ago, I think he left Emory for Cleveland Clinic. Heard he might be back in Atlanta. I was diagnosed at 62, was told repair or replacement, he said he thought he could repair, also repaired a mild aortic aneurysm while he had the hood up.
Very positive experience.
my local cardiologist said you want to go somewhere they do 10 a week, not ten a year.
good luck
