On (b)(6) 2020, a 31mm epic mitral valve and a 23 mm trifecta gt valve were chosen for procedure.Post procedure, on echo, the physician observed what appeared to be one leaflet not coapting completely with the epic mitral valve and causing some mild to moderate mr.They continued to observe and noted this on echo but chose to leave the valve in place with no further action.The case was completed and patient is recovering.On (b)(6) 2020 the surgeon reported they performed another echo that afternoon which revealed the moderate mr still present.No further action has been completed at this time as the patient is 74 years old and it is thought that the patient may not tolerate another procedure well.A copy of the or report has been requested.
