Hello bjanderson
Thank you so much with sharing your experience about your tricuspid & mitral valve repair. It was so good to hear about your successful surgery & recovery after having open heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic.
I am interested in all I can find out since being diagnosed with moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation. I have a cardiologist & also went to a University hospital to obtain all the information I could.
I have not been given much just hopefully your valve last for as long as you need it. I was also given a prescription for Furosemide/ Lasix & told to use it when you think you need it. So far I have not had a problem with edema. I realize I am an 80 year old female, however many in my family have lived until 90 or more.
I just would like to be able to take care of myself & enjoy my time I have . I am relatively active physically, & socially. I walk attend balance & exercise classes. My stamina & energy seem to be going down which is concerning.
Thanks again, Lady Dia
