Tricuspid valve repair

[10gingercats]

I may be recommended for this surgery.My local hospital is The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford but understandably I am looking for the best team for the job.

I understand Harefields is good for heart surgery but since I have no experience of previous valve repairI I am wondering if anyone here has any experience of this repair in either of these hospital. Tri cuspid valve surgery is done less often than other types of repair and of course it is essential for the surgery to be done by a team who do this repair frequently. I have yet to discuss the surgery with the consultant so it is early days.Anyideas/experience would be appreciated.

You might want to try that question in BHF forum in HUL.
