How Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement is performed
Under general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac surgeons enter the heart through a median or minimally invasive incision. Depending on the anatomy and cause, leaflet/chordal plasty, annuloplasty, or replacement with mechanical/bioprosthetic valves are usually performed. The effect is evaluated intraoperatively with ultrasound and hemodynamics. Postoperative intensive care monitoring, respiratory and circulatory support are provided, with the goal of improving regurgitation and cardiac function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
