Minimally Invasive & Open Heart
Understanding Mitral Valve Surgery
Mitral Valve Surgery is performed to repair or replace a diseased mitral valve that regulates blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle. The procedure helps restore normal blood flow, relieve symptoms, and improve overall heart function.
Minimally Invasive: Performed through small incisions using advanced surgical techniques, resulting in less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
Open Heart: Traditional surgical approach recommended for complex mitral valve conditions requiring extensive repair or replacement.
Mitral valve surgery is recommended for severe mitral regurgitation (leaky valve), mitral stenosis (narrowed valve), mitral valve prolapse, valve infections, and other structural abnormalities affecting heart function.
Patients undergo comprehensive cardiac assessment, followed by mitral valve repair or replacement surgery. Recovery includes monitoring, rehabilitation, and lifestyle guidance to support long-term heart health.
Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less pain, lower infection risk, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes.
Open Heart: Provides effective treatment for complex valve disorders, ensuring durable repair or replacement and improved long-term cardiac performance.
