Patient Reviews
Sep 15, 2022
In 2017 I had an operation to repair a Standard Type A aortic dissection with an aneurysm dilation on the ascending aorta of 7.2 cm. My condition was asymptomatic and initially identified during an incidental wellness check when my PCP heard a slight heart murmur. After a series of tests my cardiologist confirmed the diagnosis and immediately ordered surgery. I was 62 and in excellent health. During the last stage of the surgery as I was being ‘rewarmed’ my right coronary artery unexpectedly ruptured, Dr Bittner had to quickly respond and do an emergency bypass on my RCA. The entire operation took about 12 hours. Simply put, Dr Bittner and his surgical team were totaly prepared for all contingencies and saved my life. There are no words adequate enough to express my appreciation to this amazing surgeon and the health care professionals under his direction who treated me throughout this experience.
