A member asked:
Are antibiotics recommended for upper endoscopy (which could include biopsy) with annuloplasty prosthetic ring with mitral valve repair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: depends on the heart valve. If there is the possiblity of the valve having rough surfaces, then any manipulation of the GI tract would be better w. some antibiotics to prevent valve infection. cannot say in your particular case, because don't know the particulars of the valve. Probably.
