Surgeon Q&A: Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Surgery Survival & Durability with Dr. Robert Smith

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - Many patients undergoing mitral valve surgery are surprised to learn that they may also need tricuspid valve surgery. As a result, patients are confused about the survival, durability and long-term outcomes of mitral and tricuspid valve surgery. For example, Alexandra asked us, “Hi, Adam—All the data I’ve seen measures outcomes for mitral valve repair alone. Have you seen any data on survival and durability rates for patients undergoing mitral and tricuspid valve repair surgery?” To answer that question, we interviewed Dr. Robert Smith, Chair of Cardiac Surgery at Baylor Scott & White – The Heart Hospital in Plano, Texas. Dr. Smith is a heart valve and minimally-invasive expert having performed over 2,000 heart valve operations. In this video, Dr. Smith addresses: The anatomy of the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve along with cardiac conditions like atrial fibrillation and hypertension. The need for concomitant procedures for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation. Risk and recurrence of mitral and tricuspid valve surgery. The importance of mitral valve repair, or reconstructive, techniques. The need for more survival and durability data.
