Hi, I had a mirtal valve pig valve replacement on 11/14/2017 due to mitral valve due to rheumatic heart. My valve failed and I have been told I need a new valve. The Dr., I went to at Tufts for the first operation says that he feels that he can do the operation to put the new valve in. I was interested to find if there are any hospitals that could do the re-replacement valve via a robotic surgery. I have reviewed many of the videos on this site to find out more inflormation, however I have not found anything relating to re-replacement of the mitral valve, where the original replacement was due to rheumatic heart disease. Any information would be helpful.

Annette Sterzel Mary, I have the same situation and had my cow valve replaced 3 months ago are you telling me I might have to go through that again so soon after? I was told in 10 years from now if I need another one the surgeon will go through the groin
