My father is 59 and needs a mitral valve replacement. He first had mitral valve repair for rheumatic heart disease back in 1981 through open heart surgery, then developed mitral valve stenosis again in 2011 and had BMV done. Now he has severe calcific mitral stenosis. What would be better for him a tissue valve or mechanical valve? Also, which specific valve model and manufacturer would give the best long-term results? Cost isn't an issue, just want the most durable option for him.

For a 59-year-old with a history of rheumatic heart disease, extensive valve calcification, and previous repair and balloon valvotomy, a mechanical valve replacement offers the best long-term durability. Specific valve models and manufacturers depend on individual factors and surgeon preference, but generally, well-established mechanical valves with a proven track record are recommended.

Hey, I was diagnosed with mild mitral valve regurgitation prolapse back in 2010 and took medication for a couple of years. I had a follow-up in 2014 and was told everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about moving forward. Should I still be going for consultations, or is it fine if I don't? Just thinking about whether I need to keep up with any checks or if it's okay not to.

yes .cardiac opinion once a year.
