What is Mitral Valve Repair?
Since the native valve is the best valve, the mitral valve should be fixed whenever it is practical. During the procedure, the surgeon accesses the mitral valve and performs the following tasks:
• Preserves or restores leaflet mobility.
• Guarantees that the anterior and posterior mitral leaflets have appropriate area for coaptation.
• Uses a ring to stabilize the mitral valve annulus.
Indications for Mitral Valve Repair:
All mitral valves needing intervention should be repaired if possible. A mitral valve repair might be necessary if you have:
• Mitral valve regurgitation: Blood can flow backward through the mitral valve because the flaps don’t close correctly between heartbeats.
• Mitral valve stenosis: In this condition, the mitral valve flaps stiffen and sometimes fuse. this causes the mitral valve to narrow and reduce blood flow.
