Q: my husband served in vietnam 1969-70. Last year he became ill with Aortic Stenosis, could this be a cause from agent orange?
Hi Casssandra,

Maybe someone has posted information on aortic stenosis.
All the best,

My husband was in Vietnam in 1970 he died 5 1/2 yrs. ago with artery disease. He had several arota aneurysm surgery with also a valve replacement. His very last surgery was succesful then he caught every infection the hospital had started bleeding internally and couldnt be opened back up due to the infections. I always wondered where all of this could have came from. Sorry to hear about your husband.
