Gary's Story

About Me (In My Own Words)

Had a TEE procedure on 1/30/23 at Los Robles hospital (Southern Calfornia) that indicated severe mitral regurgitation and mild tricuspid regurgitation. I am 70 years old and very active playing golf and pickleball, but most importantly competing nationally in ping pong. I am ranked #7 in the USA for my age in table tennis. Not a good MitraClip candidate since I am in good health and my regurgitation comes from my P3 Scallop.
