About Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery

Heart valves, like the mitral valve, play a crucial role in maintaining the proper flow of blood in the heart.

Dr. Vishal Khullar, an accomplished Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon in Mumbai, says:

“Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery is a life-saving procedure designed to restore or replace a malfunctioning mitral valve. It helps prevent complications like heart failure or stroke, offering patients the chance to improve their quality of life.”

Types of Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery We Provide

The common types of mitral valve repair and replacement surgeries include:

Mitral Valve Repair: Preferred when the valve structure is still largely intact.

Mechanical Mitral Valve Replacement: For patients whose valves are too damaged for repair.

Biological Mitral Valve Replacement: Usually made from animal tissue, these are an alternative to mechanical valves.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Involves smaller incisions and advanced techniques for minimal recovery time and scarring.

Our Approach & Procedure

The eminent Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeon, Dr. Vishal Khullar, is known for his meticulous approach to Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery in Mumbai. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the surgical procedures:

Mitral Valve Repair:

  • Preparation: The patient undergoes anesthesia, and the surgical team prepares the chest area.
  • Accessing the Heart: The surgeon accesses the mitral valve through a small incision in the chest.
  • Valve Repair: Depending on the issue, the surgeon may reshape the valve, repair torn leaflets, or use special rings to tighten the valve opening (ring annuloplasty).
  • Post-Procedure: After ensuring proper valve function, the doctor closes the incision and moves the patient to recovery.

Heart ValveMitral Valve Replacement (Mechanical/Biological):

  • Preparation: The same steps for accessing the heart apply.
  • Removing the Damaged Valve: The faulty valve is carefully removed.
  • Implanting the New Valve: A mechanical or biological valve is placed securely.
    1. Mechanical valves are durable and long-lasting but require lifelong blood-thinning medications.
    2. Biological valves don’t require long-term medication but may need replacement after several years.
  • Final Steps: Once in place, the heart is restarted, and the team monitors the patient in the ICU post-surgery.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery:

  • Small Incisions: The surgeon makes small keyhole incisions, reducing trauma.
  • Valve Repair/Replacement: The surgeon uses specialized instruments to repair or replace the valve without opening the chest fully.
  • Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience quicker recovery with fewer complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the risks associated with Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery?

Mitral valve surgery carries risks like any major surgery, including infection, bleeding, or stroke. However, these risks are reduced significantly when performed by an experienced surgeon and at a well-equipped facility.

2. How long does it take to recover?

Most patients can expect to recover within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure and their overall health. Following the surgeon’s post-operative care instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.

3. Can I lead a normal life post-surgery?

Yes, most patients return to their normal activities, including work and exercise, after a full recovery. Your doctor will guide you on when it’s safe to resume daily activities based on your progress.

4. Will I need medication after the surgery?

If you receive a mechanical valve, you will need lifelong blood-thinning medication to prevent clots. Biological valve recipients may require less medication, but regular follow-ups are necessary to monitor the valve’s function.

5. Is minimally invasive surgery an option for all mitral valve patients?

Not all patients qualify for minimally invasive surgery. Your eligibility depends on factors such as the severity of the valve damage, your overall health, and any previous heart surgeries.
