Hi Sasha - I believe my regurgitation was closer to severe than moderate. The key issue for the cardiologist and surgeon seemed to be my heart size. I didn't have stenosis. I didn't have any real symptoms (as far as I could tell).

Thank you for your quick reply Steven. Your story is very similar to my husband's. Did you end up choosing a tissue valve or mechanical? I hope you are doing well by the way! Blessings.
