Hello Yoanne,

Thank you so much for your detailed mitral history and the detailed anatomy of your mitral surgery. So far as I'm aware, I have experienced no A-Fib attacks. I am, however, planning to meet one more time with my Rheumatologist (for Lupus), with my cardiologist, and with my cardio Surgeon to ensure there are no predictable conflicts among the three disciplines. During discussion with my doctors, I shall inquire deeply into my physical state, including questions about the existence of or likelihood of my suffering A-Fib attacks. I shall also ask if I might be facing an ablation procedure. I have seen the procedure mentioned in several of the Mayo postings I have read.

As you encouraged, I am not putting off surgery. I have scheduled my surgery for October 12, 2016.

Thank you again for taking so much trouble to help me through this procedure.

Chris

before I decided,which hospital I would go to, I did a lot of searching. I remember one site with good profound information about mitralvalve repair. the site is made by the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. (http://www.mitralvalverepair.org/).
My confidence in their team was so big ,that I thougt about going there.in spite of the costs I had to pay. I changed my mind when I learned that in germany many cardiac surgeons are highly qualified in this kind of operation (minimal invasive).
I would like to know,if you already read about this hospital. may-be this site is helpful.
