If you live near and can travel to Raleigh, NC, contact this office to send your test results, especially the latest echo, to the great cardiac surgeon, Dr. Byron Boulton; set up a consultation visit, perhaps by phone. He is Director of the WakeMed Structural Heart Program at WakeMed in Raleigh, NC. Phone (919) 231-6333. I had a serious regurgitation/mitral valve problem (caused by a gum/dental infection) and AFIB. He repaired my mitral valve, did an LAAC, and did an ablation to cure my AFIB. That was over three years ago. I am as fine as wine, off all meds too, except for 4 amoxicillin before dental visits. I am an 81-year-old male, just a kid.
Regards,
Sagan

@saganjames Thank you so much. I really appreciate your taking the time to reply.

@saganjames Your success with surgery is so very encouraging to read! I am 62 y.o. with severe regurgitation and am very worried about surgery whenever that maybe. I live in Illinois and will do research to find a very experienced cardiac surgeon.
Thank you so much for sharing!
