Survival, Durability and Long-Term Outcomes of Mitral & Tricuspid Valve Repair Surgery

I just received a great question from Alexandra about simultaneous mitral valve and tricuspid valve surgery. Alexandra asked me, "Hi Adam, All the data I've seen measures outcomes for mitral valve repair alone. Have you seen any data on survival and durability rates for patients undergoing mitral and tricuspid valve repair surgery?"

To answer this important question, I was fortunate to connect with Dr. Robert Smith, Chair of Cardiac Surgery at Baylor Scott & White – The Heart Hospital in Plano, Texas. Click here to see my interview with Dr. Robert Smith about survival, durability and long-term outcomes for mitral and tricuspid valve repair surgery.

Many thanks to Dr. Robert Smith and the entire Baylor Scott & White - The Heart Hospital Plano team for taking such great care of mitral and tricuspid valve patients.

Keep on tickin!
Adam
