Talk:Mitral valve repair

I put this page together from some copyright-free source material, but I'm not a doctor, and would like to have a professional eye look over the page and add to/edit it, if possible.

I added the "bow-tie" technik which is in clinical test at Columbia University known as EVEREST (Endovascular Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair Study). I'm not a cardiologist so any improvement is welcome.

I think the page is a very nice start. I am new to wikipedia, but love to help you edit the page.

I knew I needed mitral valve repair surgery for about five years. Recent my cardiologist told me the time was now. I was aysmptomatic but probably would soon develop symptoms. This article in Wikipedia was very helpful to me. I found there were a few very good programs and I would just have to choose one. I decided on Mount Sinai and it was excellent. Thanks everyone for helping me make a such good decision. Russ: russ_hi@msn.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.234.112.11 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 1 April 2009
