A member asked:
When a mitral valve repair is done how come all the leakage you had isnt completely eliminated they told me they still see little leakage after repair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mitral valve: Mitral repair usually isn't perfect, but then neither is normal mitral valve function. A little bit of mitral regurg is often seen on echo in many of us, post repair it isn't unusual to have some but lots less than caused the surgery. Generally it isn't problematic.
