A member asked:
Still have a little leakage after mitral valve repair surgery, how do i know the leakage wont get worse over time. had surgery 3 weeks ago.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some leakage : Some leakage is the norm. This is nothing to worry about. Your cardiologist will keep an eye on this . You will have periodic echocardiograms (maybe every year or more) to follow this. What you do not need to do is fixate on this and worry yourself to death! you are better - enjoy this! hope this helps!
