I have mitral valve, tricuspid valve and aortic valve regurgitation. Therefore my question is, "has anyone had three valves repaired?"Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thank you

BBC iPlayer - Surgeons: At the Edge of Life - Season 4, Episode 2. An 80 yr old female patient had 2 valves repaired and one replaced. If you’re not squeamish - an interesting watch.

All I know is, this lady’s surgery was half the length of time mine op took, she had 3 valves sorted out as opposed to my 1 and I am over 30 yrs her junior! It just demonstrates how every cardiac op is different, but hopefully gives you a positive insight into what is achievable.

Take care and all the best for a swift recovery following your surgery. ❤️‍🩹
