Re: Mitral Valve Replacement

A lot depends on the valve he has Flashy, carbon valves are designed to last for the patient's lifespan, tissue valves aren't as robust. Signs of the valve failing are tiredness and shortness of breath. No reason why he couldn't have another fitted if he is up to the anaesthetic though.
