Mitral Valve Repair
Mitral Valve Repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing problems with the mitral valve, which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. This valve can become leaky or narrowed, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue. The repair can involve techniques such as stitching the valve leaflets or reinforcing the valve with a ring.
The procedure is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, which can reduce recovery time and hospital stay. Successful mitral valve repair can improve heart function and enhance the quality of life for patients, often allowing them to return to normal activities more quickly.
