A member asked:

Can repairs to enlarged mitral, atrial and aortic valves be done in a single surgery?

Depends: I doubt that, but it will depend on the actual problem you are having with those. A consult with a heart surgeon is what you need.

Yes: The more valves that are involved the higher the risk. Or if there is coronary artery disease in addition to valve disease operative risk is increased.
