A member asked:

What sort of risk of endocarditis few yrs after mitral repair when having 6 b12 loading doses in 2 weeks and 1 every 2 mth in uk in using alcohol wipe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No risk that I know: I'm glad you got your mitral valve fixed. Dental procedures and endoscopy present a risk after certain kinds of mitral valve repair, but I'm not aware of any risk from common injections.
