Hi!
Are surgery recoveries more or less similar for aortic and mitral valves?
I know this is probably a question more suited to a cardiologist/surgeon than for patients, because patients usually have just one of both replaced/repaired (or both at the same time, in which case no comparation can be made). But i am sure that many of you have an idea. I ask this because my problem is with my mitral valve, but the vast majority of discussions here are about the aortic one. And i would like to know whether all these valuable testimonies from aortic patients can also be somewhat useful for mitral ones.
Regards
