I was originally diagnosed with aortic stenosis in 2013 and just prior my operation Mr Bittar gave me a TOE procedure to find more information regarding the state of the valve -he did this after listening to me mention that I had no symptoms despite running and playing tennis on a regular basis. Thanks to his wise and informed decision making I was then put on a yearly observation program. Finally by late 2019 the valve had deteriorated to a severe state and his decision was to operate on December 5th.I will continually be grateful for the professionalism and attitude of Mr Bittar and his team following a successful aortic valve replacement using I believe a keyhole technique which made my recovery so much better.He enlisted me on the heart rehab program which I would strongly recommend .Due to covid delays no doubt, my final meeting with Mr Bittar was in September 2020. Following an ECG he gave me the all clear (which included no longer having to take edoxoban or amioderone)the only pill I am now on is one aspirin per day. I am able to run twice weekly now on routes I did some years ago. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Blackpool Victoria under Mr Bittar and his team and would recommend to anyone with concerns about their heart condition that you can put your life in their hands.
