A member asked:
Will a little leakage after mitral valve repair get better , and disappear to no leakage over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mitral valve: Mitral repair usually is not 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 isnot unusual to have some but lots less than caused the surgery. Generally it isnot problematic.
