Surgeons repair mitralvalve narrowing its diameter can it restrict the blood flow impacting exercise?afew surgeons don't reduce diameter, best option?

No: If the repair is done at a center of excellence, the outcomes are usually very good. A repair is almost always preferred to a replacement if feasible. If you are experiencing symptoms, I would recommend a follow up echocardiogram to evaluate the mitral valve.
