Hello all!
I recently learned my mitral valve is leaking, at least moderately ( possible more but the dr didn’t specify). He’s concerned enough to order another echo and maybe a TEE. He said that this could have been caused by the sutures when my aortic valve was placed. Possible some geometric changes caused by the sutures, preventing the mitral valve from closing properly.
I’ve been searching online so I can read up on this, as I’ve never heard of it before. I’m curious if anyone here has heard of this, or has first hand experience with this issue?
Thanks !
