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.
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
Echocardiogram (2D/3D), Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE), ECG, Chest X-ray, Coronary Angiography, CBC, Kidney & Liver Function Tests, Coagulation Profile, Blood Grouping
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Stay in India
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.
