A member asked:

Mom has pulmonary htn and mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. do these play any role or complication in a radical laparo. nephrectomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Severity? : Mild mr and tr would not increase her risk. Any significant elevation of pulmonary artery pressure would. It depends on severity. She obviously has had an echo. Check with her cardiologist to be sure she is medically as fit as she can be prior to major surgery.
