Pleural Effusion Post AVR

Pleural Effusion Post AVR

Posted By Hank Eyring on April 29, 1999 at 12:53:00
Hello,
I had AVR on April 2nd with St. Jude Mechanical Valve.
No real complications at the time.  Since then I have had slight increase in pain in the left chest.  Yesterday I had chest x-rays taken and was found to have a pleural effusion on the left side.
Question:  Is this a common occurence after AVR surgery and what is usually done to treat it?
Thanks in advance..
Hank Eyring
