A member asked:
For how long should you take aspirin for after having mitral valve repair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the mitral valve was changed to a mechanical valve, anticoagulation for life may be needed. Ask your doctor what repair was done, is there a replacement and what precautions should be taken and what medicines should be taken.
