  1. I HAVE THAT LEAKY MITRAL VALVE
    CAN IT BE OPERATED WITHOUT BREAKING MY RIBS???IN OTHER WORDS,
    ROBOTIC,WITH A LITTLE INCISION
    AND A RECOUPING WAY SHORTER TIME
    THANK YOU, 79 YEAR OLD

  2. I have 😮2 regurating valves. one on each side of my heart. it's been that way . years. I am 83 and getting more fatigue about of breath with exercise I see my Dr in July. this is a good picture

  3. Remember that if you have both aortic and mitral valve disease, this can be caused by infective endocarditis or rheumatic heart disease. I'd also be thinking of collagen vascular disease such as Marfans and degenerative calcific disease can affect both valves too.

  4. 25 years ago I had open heart surgery. They repaired a hole, repaired the mitral valve and used a homograft to replace the aortic valve. My aortic valve was quite rare – it had 4 leaflets. It was hard surgery and long recuperation. The aortic valve has worked quite well but the mitral repair not so much. I have had SOB for most of those 25 years; not as bad as before surgery, but bad enough. About 5-8 years post surgery they found the homografts did not work as long as expected. I have been extremely fortunate that mine has held its function all these years. Now I have severe mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation so they are going to put the clip on the tricuspid. I hope it works. My fatigue and SOB is severe and can’t do much – I am 71.

  5. I have 3 clips…. Unfortunately my leak is still at the severe level but it has eased my symptoms a little… (I have lung issues as well…. Pulmonary hypertension).

  6. I'm wondering how you know clip or open heart. My husband will be doing the clip. But first we were talking to different Dr. for open heart so hope the doctor can get it figured out.

  7. I had DaVinci robotic sx to repair my mitral valve. They repaired it and is good as new and should last me the rest of my life. Hospital 4 days then home with no restrictions. I feel great.

  8. No, I’m in Canada and they just cut my chest open three times. I had three open heart surgeries and tons of malpractice. They actually left an object in my chest, which was the third open heart surgery to retrieve it.
