How safe is surgery for severe mitral valve regurgitation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MVR: This surgery is done quite well by experienced cardiac teams. With appropriate choice of patient, appropriate procedure and follow up most patients do quite well. As with any surgery certain things increase the risk of the surgery and complicate the risk benefit evaluation.
