A member asked:
Can i choose to have my tricuspid valve repaired even if my doctor says symptoms haven't progressed far enough for it to be neccissary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second opinion: You won't be able to convince any ethical cardiac surgeon to operate on you if he/ she doesn't believe that surgery is indicated. My advice is to bring all your test results to another respected cardiac SURGEON and get a second opinion.
