Hello all,
Two weeks ago I had a mitral valvuloplasty. I am wondering if there are people here (besides Bunny) who have had the procedure. I would like to know what the long-term prognosis is, in other words, how long do they last, before a repeat is required,or replacement. I haven't found much in the literature, really nothing at all, so was just wondering if anyone here could help.
My valve was at 1 cm sq when they performed the procedure, but the doctor was unable to tell how much he was able to open the valve and the valve started to leak so he had to stop. Symptom-wise, not much has changed.
Thanks in advance,
