Hal,
THis lady had an OMC 4 years ago in another center.Of course I will  do my 
best to repair the valve but if not and all the debate is for that moment .I

pray TEE will be available (echo: mildly stenotic mitral valve and severe 
mitral regurg,leaflet mobility of both ant and pos. ones areseverely 
restricted,extreme calcification of the posterior annulus).as for your 
second advice unfortunately MVR is considered the only thearpeutic option in

rheumatic cases here and  I am one of the ones who is trying the other way.
