Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement

Mitral valve repair and replacement are performed to treat conditions in which the mitral valve does not function properly. This valve plays a vital role in controlling blood flow within the heart. When it becomes damaged or diseased, timely surgical treatment helps restore normal circulation and improve heart function.

Depending on the condition of the valve, repair is often preferred to preserve the natural valve. When repair is not possible, valve replacement provides an effective and durable solution.

Conditions Treated

Mitral valve surgery may be recommended for:

• Mitral valve regurgitation (leakage)
• Mitral valve stenosis (narrowing)
• Degenerative or rheumatic valve disease
• Congenital mitral valve abnormalities
• Valve dysfunction causing heart failure symptoms

What Patients Can Expect

Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on detailed evaluation and imaging studies. The goal is to ensure safe surgery and optimal long-term results.

Key aspects of care include:

• Comprehensive cardiac assessment
• Decision between valve repair or replacement
• Use of advanced surgical techniques
• Careful postoperative monitoring
• Guidance for recovery and long-term heart care

Life After Surgery

Most patients experience significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life after mitral valve surgery. Regular follow-up helps maintain heart health and ensures long-term success of the procedure.
