farnsworth Forum Newbie Topics: 0 Posts: 165	02/21/08 - 05:00 PM             #2 Neither mitral valve stenosis nor pulmonary hypertension are absolute contraindications for surgery. A severe aortic stenosis (pressure gradient >50mmHg, flow velocity > 4.5m/s, opening area < 0.75cm^2) is a contraindication for elective surgery, they need valve replacement first.
