How Surgical Mitral Valve Replacement is performed
Under general anesthesia, establish cardiopulmonary bypass, expose the mitral valve, remove the diseased tissue, preserve the chordae tendineae as needed, and suture a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve to the annulus. Transesophageal ultrasound is used to assess the valve orifice and regurgitation, gradually wean off cardiopulmonary bypass, and stop bleeding and drain. Postoperatively, transfer to the intensive care unit to monitor circulation, respiration, and bleeding, and then transition to the general ward for rehabilitation. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
