Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sending positive energy your way! Can anyone please share with me if you had a mitral valve repair previously which is now leaking again? I am healthy, lively, energetic and feel fine but my consults with cardiologists and capable, competant surgeons... Read more.

Wow, i had a repair done year and a half ago and the last thing i considered was that it would releak. I suppose one must consider any thing can happen like any other rebuild. Seems it might be rare. Good luck with this.

Bill Peterson

I required a re-do on a leaky mitral valve nine years after my initial surgery. Lots of research convinced me that re-do operations are pretty tricky and - even more so than for initial surgery - you want a specialist. All of my research led me to Dr. David Adams... Read more.

Richard Munson

Nice to hear that bill. Food for thought

Deena Z

Hi Terry, Ditto what Bill said. I had my mitral valve repaired at Mt Sinai in NYC by David Adams. Top in the nation for what he does, but more importantly he performs re-repairs (successfully) every week. I would speak with that office or the Cleveland Clinic. David Adam's office... Read more.

Iâ€™m considering purchasing Re-Leaking Valve Insurance!ðŸ«¢

Richard Munson

Better idea howard is that radiator leak product the you can get at any auto supply store. You drink one can and never worry about the leak again.

Howard Powders

I have some methyl alcohol in the attic in case of bad MD news.

Richard Munson

We should hook up and do some stand up comedy. Rowan and martin, laurel and hardy. Call us the valve guys. Our last gasp before they dig the hole.

Howard Powders

No hole for me. I already paid for a cremation cubby hole in an air-tight vault. Hope I can breathe in there! "The Surgical Successes!" Valve comedy at it's finest.

Richard Munson

I already paid for a full burial but after my life of sin, i may end up getting cremated by whoever and wherever i end up.

Howard Powders

I paid for a cemetery plot too a long time ago, but my wife and I decided cremation was the way to go. My nameplate will be outside the vault. I have to die to finally become a VIP!! We will have fun though, in "the new place"!

Richard Munson

If you put a little slot in the box, you can receive mail as well. No amazon packages however.

Howard Powders

In that case I will order some magazines. Reading can help kill the time.

Richard Munson

I like that. Kill the time. Maybe a novel. Death of a salesman.

Howard Powders

Thatâ€™s a play. I saw it on broadway. Arthur Miller. Married to Marilyn Monroe for a few seconds!

Richard Munson

I think we are both right. Yes, a play also a book i was forced to read back in the day. Willie loman. Who knew way back then that i would end up spending most of my life as a salesman. And yes, i still do it and love it.... Read more.

Tough dating someone so self-destructive.

Richard Munson

After looking at some old pictures i can see the attraction. Not thinking high IQ was it.

Howard, please take Richard up on his offer, I would pay to see you both as stand up comedians, you guys kept me going here. Very funny ðŸ˜„

Howard Powders

Ana-Thanks! The "Two Valves". 😊

Richard Munson

Plus we are both thin i think 2/valve o leans.

Unknown

I like both names so you will have to decide.

Howard Powders

Iâ€™m writing a song, â€˜Ring Around the Valvesâ€™.

Richard Munson

I thought it was ring around the rosie? We can dedicate it to rose.

Unknown

Richard and Howard, thank you for keeping me in stitches

Howard Powders

Donâ€™t thank us. Thank your surgeon!ðŸ˜Š

Unknown

Lol

Howard Powders

Ana, you obviously did your research. Your surgeon is distinguished in aorta and mitral valve issues and UCLA medical center is one of the top hospitals in the nation. Looking good, Ana!! You will be well cared for!ðŸ™‚

Today marks one year since I had successful Mitral Valve repair. I see that most of my graduating class of 2011 have moved on; however, I invite all of you new- commers to celebrate with me on this joyous occassion. I also want to take this opportunity to reassure all... Read more.
