Has anyone here had annuloplasties? Two years ago I was expecting to have mitral and tricuspid valve replacements for regurgitation but my surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic opted to do annuloplasties instead. I’ve never met anyone else who has had this done and can’t find much information about it either. Anyone out there?

Susan Lynn Julie - More than 90% of mitral valves are repaired by experienced surgeons. It's the preferred procedure to fixing regurgitation. My surgeon also 'put a ring on it' and fixed my chords at the same time. You'll likely find that the majority of folks have had annulplasty rings. You're in good company.
