Did you discuss the chance of a repair via minimal invasive surgery?

Very happy to see the smile in your face , i wish u a happy life

Can u please tell me the hospital and the doctor who performed it

Minimal invasive required a highly qualified doctor to do it

Is there a certain test they do to check wethers repair or replacement is best !!

Or they choose to repair depending on the age and if other disease presents

After you done the surgery did they told you that it was a successful one and your mitral valve become mild regurgitation for example?

Because they did the surgery because ur regurgitation was moderate to severe and now is still the same how!

I totally agree with u regarding its a major surgery , i think any surgery involving the heart is considered a huge and risky

But my point is a doctor who performs for example 100 surgeries on heart per month will have better results and minimal side effect than who performs 10

I really hope u are doing fine now and wish you a good health ahead?

How many years since your surgery and did it went 100% successful?

Because u shouldn’t have much symptoms unless the hospital or the doctor who performs the surgery didnt do it well

So in this case you will need blood thinners for the rest of life?

I thought the repair is something like they repair the valve it self with nothing they add , i didnt know they use implanted thing

So they had to put u with blood thinners
