My daughter had heart valve replacment at age 22; that was in 2008.  We visited the doctor two days ago and he said the new valve has a very small leak; nothing to be concerned about; my question is will this very small leak heal itself or will it get worse.
Hello need details of c report then I can help you more... Small leakage with normal heart size chambers... Does not lead to harmful effect.... If leakage increases then have some effect on heart chamber and leads to problem... so regular followup will tell you status of valve and its problem ... Until small leakage is there need not have much problem...share You’re report, so I can help u more
