Janet Gets Successful Mitral Valve Repair Surgery!
Published: January 17, 2023
I love hearing patient success stories from our community!
For example... I just interviewed Janet Peterson, a retired accountant from Wadesville, Indiana, about her successful, minimally-invasive mitral valve repair surgery. It was great to learn why and how Janet got a mitral valve repair surgery given her severely leaky heart valve.
Many thanks to Janet, for sharing her story, and Dr. Gerdisch for educating our patient community about mitral valve repair surgery!
Keep on tickin!
