We were emailed this Mayo published article today that details the denervation procedure that Audrey will undergo in August. Pages 5 and 6 are the pages covering the exact denervation procedure Audrey will have. The writeup was done back in 2009 so some of the patient numbers mentioned have increased in the two years since. The two doctors shown there, Ackerman and Moir, will also be Audrey's doctors there at Mayo. Dr. Ackerman is the cardiologist that we have had multiple extensive phone conversations with and is definitely considered one of the leaders in the LQTS field. Dr. Moir is the surgeon that Dr. Ackerman consistently works with and will be performing Audrey's surgery. Although we really hate having to put Audrey through another surgery, we feel really confident that we are going to the right place to have it done.
