About Me

Along with my mitral regurgitation I also have an ASD (atrial septal defect) that needs to be repaired. The probability that my mitral valve can be repaired is a far higher percentage at the Cleveland Clinic than they were giving me here in VA, we were looking more along the lines of valve replacement. I am very thankful that we found the Cleveland Clinic!!! Now for the waiting....
