Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery in Mumbai, India

Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery

The Mitral valve, one of four heart valves, is located on the left side of the heart. It separates the upper-left and lower-left heart chambers. Mitral valve repair surgery treats mitral valve disease. It fixes issues with the mitral valve, such as leaks. Mitral valve replacement surgery replaces a poorly performing mitral valve with an artificial valve that will facilitate optimal blood flow without putting extra stress on the heart.

Conditions Treated by Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement Surgery

Mitral valve regurgitation: It is the most common cause of mitral valve repair, caused by a mitral valve that doesn’t close all the way. It causes blood to leak in the wrong direction. One of the major causes of mitral valve regurgitation is mitral valve prolapse, in which people have floppy or stretchy mitral valve flaps.

Mitral valve stenosis: Another possible reason for a mitral valve replacement, mitral valve stenosis, is the narrowing of the valve opening that prevents blood flow.

Rheumatic heart disease: Caused by rheumatic fever, the disease may cause inflammation that may damage the heart valve.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long will my recovery time be?

This depends on how well you are before the surgery. You will generally go home after five to seven days after surgery, but a full recovery may take up to three weeks. Some patients recover swiftly and can get back to work in two weeks. If you feel that you are ready to go to work early we recommend starting with a part-time.

Yes, you will have certain restrictions. You cannot do any heavy lifting, pushing or pulling for 12 weeks after surgery.

Walking every day is recommended until your surgeon informs you that you can resume normal activities. However, you shouldn’t do any heavy lifting and prevent putting strain on your chest.
