Update on my need for Tricuspid valve replacement heart surgery

Jul 20, 2011

Per the Cardiac Surgeon I saw today for a second opinion, I do not need to have heart surgery at this time.

My regurgitation is only moderate and I have no symptoms so at this time all we need to do is monitor my heart.


In 4 mos they want to do another heart sono to check status.


If the regurgitation stays moderate and I get no symptoms no surgery will be needed. 


He said they only operate when there are symptoms and severe regurgitation.


YAY!!!


Thank you all for your support and prayers.


Sincerely,


Teena Adler
