[HSF] elective replacement of tissue valve

[Otto Thaning]

I think your decision whether to replace the aortic valve and what valve to 
use for the mitral should be influenced by whether this patient is intending 
to have children.

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.
