Mitral Valve Replacement

Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery

mitral valve replacement surgery is done to fix the issue of leakage or stiffness of mitral valve in the heart. The mitral valve is placed between left heart chambers.

There are two ways to do mitral valve replacement surgery:

• First is through open heart surgery procedure and
• second is through minimally invasive heart surgery.
• Sometimes a mitral valve problem may be treated with a catheter-based procedure. The specific procedure used depends on the severity of your mitral valve disease and whether it's getting worse.
