Mitral Valve Repair
Articles and resources for Mitral Valve Repair in Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Mitral valve repair is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting issues with the mitral valve, which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Common reasons for considering this surgery include mitral valve regurgitation, where the valve does not close properly, leading to blood leaking backward, or mitral valve stenosis, where the valve narrows and restricts blood flow. Patients may experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or palpitations, prompting evaluation and potential intervention.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can be done through traditional open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques. During the surgery, the surgeon repairs the valve by reshaping or reinforcing it, ensuring it functions properly. Patients can expect a hospital stay of several days, followed by a recovery period that may vary in length depending on the surgical approach and individual health factors.
The benefits of mitral valve repair often include improved heart function, reduced symptoms, and a better quality of life. However, as with any surgery, there are risks involved, such as infection, bleeding, or complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, there may be a chance that the valve does not function as intended after repair, which could necessitate further treatment. Understanding these aspects can help patients make informed decisions about their care.
