Which questions should we ask when my mom goes to talk the surgeon about getting a heart valve replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: They should provide you with details about the surgery. What is important to you is the average length of stay and the surgeon's mortality and morbidity risk compared to standard. Common scoring systems are ats and euroscore. Please provide risk for a particular patient and are often used to compare to standard.
