Re: Help with cardiology - "bilateral" mitral valve?

That definitely could be it. He'd be saying "bovine" slightly funny, but it
makes a lot more sense than the two options I came up with. Google does
seem to suggest they use bovine and porcine valves. I'm going to point it
out to them, but at least I won't look like an idiot (like I would've if I
sent in "bilateral").
Thanks, Margie!

Could he be saying "bovine"? I've heard of porcine valves but never
bovine. Just a guess.

"Coronary bypass surgery in 1998, *s/l both with* mitral valve

I think I may be able to make it sound like "bilateral mitral valve," but
that doesn't make sense. Does anyone have any guesses as to what else
this
could be? I'm sorry I don't have more info to go on.
