A member asked:
Will my mitral valve repair last forever? how long will it last.

Depends: Depends on the age of the patient, previous pathology of the valve, final result after surgery, other medical conditions of the patient and so on. Typically repair is done for the mitral valve. In hands of a good surgeon, the right patient could have a very good, long lasting result. But as they say, nothing lasts forever!

It varies: The duration of your repair is variable. For some, it lasts a lifetime. Your cardiologist can help you keep an eye on this.
