Mitral Valve Surgery

Imagine that your heart is like an engine of a car. And in that engine, there is a part that is malfunctioning. You saw that the malfunctioning part has a clog which interferes for the engine to run smoothly. Instead of buying a new part, you just clear the clog and the engine is back to normal. Just like in mitral valve repair, if the original mitral valve is damaged but not that severe, it only needs repair in which the original mitral valve is saved.

However, when the valve is too damaged to repair, it must be replaced with an artificial valve. Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis or regurgitation of the mitral valve. While the mitral valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure in which a patient’s mitral valve is replaced by a different valve.

Some surgeons will first recommend repairing the valve instead of replacement. But if the patient is not a good candidate then they must replace the valve. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is much more technically demanding and may involve higher risk. There is a most prestigious hospital that provides comprehensive care. The University of Maryland Medical Center has the higher quality and safety service than any other hospitals around Maryland and the whole world. Their cardiac surgeons are top leaders when it comes in Mitral valve repair .
