Are Patients with Mechanical Valves Contraindicated for Rhinoplasty?

darrenwilson
If a patient is seeking augmentation rhinoplasty but has a mechanical aortic valve does this contraindicate them for surgery even if they are hemodyamically stable and take pro-active measures to reduce their INR down to 1.5 pre-op and take antibiotics prophylactically?
