NO.
You should replace the mitral valve trough thoracotomy, leaving a better
opportunity for an aortic redo for the future.

Betreff: [HSF] elective replacement of tissue valve 

We have a 26 years old lady  who had aortic  valve replacement with tissue
valve  and mitral valve repair  6 yrs back coming back now with mitral
stenosis . we are planning for prosthetic  mitral valve replacement.

Should we replace the aortic valve now? It is normal by echo.
