What is the fix for having a blood clot on your valve not letting it close all the way and leaking? Medicine, procedure anybody know?
Karlynn said:Randy, if he thinks it's a clot, I'm questioning why he's waiting until Friday to do the TEE. Not to terrify you, but if it is a clot, it could break off and travel, causing a stroke.
Even though you've been in range lately, weren't you doing some bridging for an epidural. Plus, you had some problems right after your surgery. So there could be many reasons a clot formed, if it has.
I wish you the best. Let's hope there's a simple answer to this issue.
