Brief Answer: Please provide the requested medical data... Detailed Answer: Hi, You are reporting to have a calcium build valve which need to be replaced (but you doesn't specify the valve that need to be replaced). Before giving my opinion I need to know which of your valve has stenosis. For this your ECHO data may be helpful. To choose the best strategy for your case, I would also to know if you have done coronary angiography recently. Based on this informations I may give my opinion for your case.
