Patched vsd, aortic stenosis mitral regurgitation. going to dentist w/ prophylaxis. 24 m. what chances do i have of getting endocarditis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss w/ dentist : This is something that you need to have your dentist and physician discuss to determine what if any precautions must be determined. In all likelihood they will recommend the use of a pre treatment antibiotic but again that must be determined by these health care professionals.
