Dr. Marc Gerdisch is a heart valve expert having performed over 4,000 heart valve repair and replacement operations during his career.
Do you know the defect before the 1st surgery, the defect before the second surgery and the defect before the upcoming 3rd surgery? Did you read the operative reports for the first two surgeries? Does the new surgeon have the past echos, operative reports, etc. (s)he might not care about the past issues/reports because they say they just care about the current issue. But I would think it's important to fully understand the history and what issues /complications the previous surgeon found. Also talk to at least a couple other surgeons besides your initial surgeon. You don't want to do this a 4th time.
