A member asked:
Is it possible to have mitral valve repair done and not to have any leakage afterwards.. or will you still have a minimal anount of leakage still?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MV Repair Question: A mild degree of leakage after repair is altogether a bad thing. A worse outcome would be to not have a leak after repair but instead have mitral stenosis.
