But if the area between the aneurysm and the renal arteries is too slight for a conventional commercially-made ordinary stent, then you need to go to Cleveland Clinic (which uses commercially made fenestrated stents from Australia), Mayo Clinic (surgeon-modified stents), Emory in Atlanta (talk to Dr. Ricotta, from Mayo, adept at what they call surgeon modified "fenestrated" stents, or to the University of California, San Francisco.
There is the maze procedure. Mayo Clinic provides the following information and is one of a few medical centers in the United States that performs the maze procedure, a highly complex surgical treatment option for atrial fibrillation. Mayo Clinic heart surgeons are highly skilled and have years of experience with this technique.
Truthfully, I've heard one of the best MS Clinics in the US is the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. You might try checking out http://www.mscare.org
They list all the clinics available, etc. My neuro said the clinic at Cincinatti isn't that great but thinks Cleveland Clinic is really good. I've never heard of the Mayo Clinic being highly rated for MS, but more for heart desease.
His cardiologist does not recommend surgery to fix the valve (too risky) but suggested a biventricular pacemaker be considered (he currently has a pacemaker). He went for assessment and the dr at the clinic said it would not benefit him. We are running out of options. Do you know of anyone with a similar background that has had success with the biventricular pacemaker? would you recommend any other treatment?
thanks.
Even my exceptional doc at Mayo Clinic said there are no long term studies when I asked him point blank about that. He said it concerns him, too, and that Mayo is in the middle of collecting that data because they want to know how this procedure is affecting patients long term. BTW, I had cryo ablation recently at Mayo and if you want more information about my ablation experience, just let me know.
It came out negative, but the test was only 3 days. Mayo Clinic recommends a 7-10 day test for such non-reactive metals as titanium.
My question is, does this sound like low level infection by bacteria colonization, or allergy? Has anyone experienced this?
When I get my 4th PM in a week or 2, what measures should be taken to avoid another failure?
Many thanks,,,

I am concerned with this choice of meds as we were told at Mayo Clinic that she needed to increase fluid intake and add salt to her diet to help retain fluids. Her blood pressure also drops when she has an episode and this med is used for hypertention. Do you have any information on meds used for this condition and their effectiveness.
I'm sorry, I just realized that you mentioned Mayo Clinic in your above post. Was he seen by one of the Autonomic Neurology Specialists in Minnesota?
My deepest sympathy for your very difficult heart condition... and I wonder if the law suit mentality here in the US isn't at the root of your problem finding a cardiologist. Your payment, e.g., insurance, method can also be a problem here in the USA.
Still, we have the very best in medical care and being you are in NYC you are near some. Have you checked with one of the heart center hospitals..
He also had quadruple bypass surgery and a reaction to statin drugs. Mayo clinic in Rochester was where he went for a second opinion. I highly suggest going to the top (Mayo) if you can travel. Our hospital here was tellling him it was his heart and he needed a defribulator. Mayo found out his heart was perfectly fine and it was his lungs. Get a second opinon.
Have you been to the University of Michigan? My daughter had HCM with non-sustained V-Tach and they put her immediately on Amiodarone. It's very difficult believing you are having V-Tach at rates of 200 BPM because a hypertrophied heart can't relax and keep up with rates like that.
t subside and she started to vomit and was unable to eat, 3 days after the procedure she was back at the hospital (warfarin clinic) and she told them of her symptoms, they told her it was indigestion and she should get herself some Zantac. The following morning - 4 days after the procedure- she complained of the pain and light headness then she collapsed and died at home. She didn't have any pain before the procedure, do you think something has gone wrong during the replacement?
I met with him last July, also looked into a FIRM ablation procedure at OSU. At that time they had only done 26 and I opted to wait. This procedure has a much higher success rate. I am now being seen at the Cleveland Clinic this summer to get their opinion. I don't know where you are located, but they are one of the best centers in the Midwest, and one report I read said in the world. The AV node ablation with pacemaker is a possibility also, and some people are in permanent afib.
80% of those 23 million were tagged for my heart. I will be glad to put you in touch with the Heart Clinic, in Florida, that I used. The procedure is not covered by insurance - again because of lack of FDA approval. Testing is being done in the U.S. in Chicago and Texas - might be elsewhere that's the 2 I know. The problem with getting in on a "study" is that it is a blind study.
I have seen 3 neurologists since 2015- the most recent being one at Mayo Clinic. All of them have diagnosed ataxia, occasional stuttering, occasionally absent reflexes, weakness, and at every visit I have had bilateral Babinski. I had a brain MRI in 2015 with two "non-specific" lesions and cannot have an spinal MRI due to my pacemaker. My EMG's show bilaterally absent H-Reflexes, normal nerve conduction studies and a normal SEP.
