I was wondering about the cost - he said to expect about $50K . Also - how bad was yours? Severe MVP? Severe regurgitation?, moderate? Your LV dimension? Mine is Moderate MVP and moderate to severe MR. My LV was between 4.6 and 5.1mm and my ejection fraction is 60%. I see he was able to repair yours. I definately don't want a replacement. This is why I was wondering about the severitiy of yours. How was your recovery? Thanks, Steve Geoff,

You look young in your picture so I was just wondering how old you are? It also sounds as if they repaired your valve. The doctors are telling us that our son's valve has a 50-50 chance of being repaired. I just had some questions if you feel like responding. Thank you in advance for your time.
