You and your cardiologist will consider your symptoms and heart test results to decide when the benefits of surgery to repair heart valves outweigh its risks. Getting a second opinion is often helpful.

If you are advised that you need open heart surgery, ask your surgeon if you could benefit from the use of CorMatrix ECM. It is FDA approved as a medical device.

Instead, it is slowly replaced by healthy tissue as the body’s cells grow in and around it, helping the heart heal itself.

I have four leaky heart valves and have 6 mo. checkups with a cardiologist. I also have a pacemaker. Who would I contact if I was interested in a test program?
