A member asked:

What is the possibility of future cardiac intervention once mitral valve replaced(mechanical)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No different: It's no differenct than someone whose mitral valve hasn't been replaced. If you need something to be done and your general health is otherwise okay, it should be done. Naturally, one would prefer to avoid a second open chest surgery, so percutaneous approaches are first considerations, but redos are possible.

In my Echocardiogram in mid-May it said 'Trivial regurgitation in mitral valve but no evidence of stenosis'. In the cardiac MRI done at the end of June it said 'Interatrial septum is mildly aneurysmal, bulging to the right'. Are these connected?
