About the Procedure
What is Mitral Valve Repair?
Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgical procedure performed to correct a leaking (regurgitant) or narrowed (stenotic) mitral valve by reconstructing the patient's own valve tissue rather than replacing it. It is typically recommended for patients with mitral valve prolapse, degenerative valve disease, or ischemic mitral regurgitation to restore normal blood flow and prevent heart failure. Repair is generally preferred over replacement because it preserves natural heart function and avoids lifelong blood thinners.
Who may be considered?
Mitral Valve Repair may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The traditional and most widely performed approach, involving a full sternotomy to access the heart on cardiopulmonary bypass while the surgeon repairs the valve leaflets, chordae, or annulus.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Open-Heart Mitral Valve Repair (Median Sternotomy)
Most PopularThe traditional and most widely performed approach, involving a full sternotomy to access the heart on cardiopulmonary bypass while the surgeon repairs the valve leaflets, chordae, or annulus.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $400 - $900
Echocardiogram (2D/3D), Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE), ECG, Chest X-ray, Coronary Angiography, CBC, Kidney & Liver Function Tests, Coagulation Profile, Blood Grouping
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $7,500 - $12,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~7-9 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~4-6 weeks recommended
Total stay: approx 12-15 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Surgeon & cardiac anesthesia fees
- ICU & ward stay
- Operating theatre & bypass machine charges
- Standard medications during stay
- Post-op ECG/echo monitoring
Usually Not Included
- International flights & visa fees
- Attendant accommodation & meals
- Post-discharge medications
- Any unforeseen complication management
- Follow-up travel after discharge
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients are mobilized within 24-48 hours after surgery and discharged once stable, with full recovery and return to normal activity typically taking 4-6 weeks; regular follow-up echocardiograms are advised to monitor valve function.
Risks
As with any open-heart procedure, risks include bleeding, infection, arrhythmias, stroke, and in rare cases the need for valve replacement if repair is not durable; overall success rates for mitral valve repair are very high in experienced centers.
Alternatives
Alternatives include mitral valve replacement (mechanical or bioprosthetic) for severely damaged valves, transcatheter mitral valve repair (MitraClip) for high-risk surgical patients, or continued medical management with diuretics and heart failure medications for milder cases.

Common questions
FAQs about Mitral Valve Repair in India
What is Mitral Valve Repair?
Mitral Valve Repair is a health condition whose presentation and severity can vary between patients. A clinician considers the reported symptoms, medical history, physical examination, relevant risk factors and appropriate investigations rather than relying on one symptom or test alone.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Mitral Valve Repair?
Symptoms and health effects of Mitral Valve Repair depend on the underlying cause, duration and severity. A person may have condition-related symptoms, reduced function or complications, while some people have few obvious symptoms. New, worsening or severe symptoms should be discussed with a qualified clinician; symptoms alone do not establish a diagnosis.
How is Mitral Valve Repair diagnosed?
Assessment for Mitral Valve Repair usually starts with a detailed history and examination. Depending on the concern, the clinician may review previous records, order blood tests, imaging or other condition-appropriate investigations, and arrange specialist review. The diagnosis and treatment plan should be based on the complete clinical picture and not on an online page alone.
How is Mitral Valve Repair treated?
Treatment for Mitral Valve Repair depends on the confirmed diagnosis, severity, cause, overall health and treatment goals. It may include observation or lifestyle and supportive care, medicines, rehabilitation, specialist monitoring, or a procedure such as Mitral Valve Repair when clinically appropriate. A specialist should explain expected benefits, limitations, alternatives and risks.
Can Mitral Valve Repair be treated without a procedure?
Many patients with Mitral Valve Repair may first be considered for non-surgical care, such as monitoring, medicines, rehabilitation, nutrition or activity changes, symptom management and treatment of related health issues. Whether this is suitable depends on the diagnosis and response to care; non-surgical treatment should not be stopped or changed without medical advice.
When is Mitral Valve Repair considered for Mitral Valve Repair?
Mitral Valve Repair may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Mitral Valve Repair?
Mitral Valve Repair is commonly assessed by a Cardiovascular Surgery specialist. Depending on the diagnosis, a radiologist, physician, surgeon, rehabilitation professional or other member of a multidisciplinary team may also contribute. The appropriate doctor depends on the symptoms, confirmed diagnosis and whether a procedure is being considered.
How do I choose a doctor for Mitral Valve Repair?
Compare a Cardiovascular Surgery doctor's experience with Mitral Valve Repair, the type of cases they manage, relevant procedure experience where applicable, hospital affiliation, diagnostic approach, multidisciplinary support and follow-up plan. Ask which treatment options fit your diagnosis and what information the doctor needs before giving an opinion.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
