Mitral valve still leaking - Does anyone know if you've have miltral repair, (ring) is the leak supposed to completely stop? I had surgery 4/10 and my echo shows mild to moderate leaking.

Some leaking is common, but I haven't heard of a moderate leak after surgery. You had one of the top surgeons in the world, maybe there's another explanation. Best of luck, Nancy.
Could the echo be showing more than it really is? I also would ask surgeon to view the echo.
Leaking is common after surgery, so hopefully this is all okay. Take care.
