Hi Jerry, it is always better to have mitral valve repair as opposed to replacement. With replacement, you will have to take anti-thrombotic medication for the rest of your life, with a risk of infections and the possibility of a second surgery down the line. Even if your mitral valve regurgitation is severe, the world famous Dr. David Adams, Professor and Chair at Mount Sinai in NY, can repair it. No matter how complex your valve may be. Remember, you are special and you deserve the best. Good luck!
