HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such case really needs complete clinical information but once the surgery done and it was the post surgical complications are there then second attempt of repairs depends upon what type of complication it was, what type of valve is compatible to the patient that depends upon the cardiac parameters, very little information you gave here, hope this information helps.
