Dear Sir/Madam
Thanks for your query to us.
Moderate mitral regurgitation needs no treatment for its own, however any correctable cause for same should be dealt with. Moderate mitral regurgitation do not produces any symptoms.
If the blockage in current CT angiogram are critical and patient is symptomatic for them, next step should be a conventional angiogram. Do discuss with your cardiologist.
Sincerely
