About the Procedure
What is Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement?
Mitral valve repair and replacement are cardiac surgical procedures performed to correct a mitral valve that is leaking (regurgitation) or narrowed (stenosis), restoring normal blood flow through the heart. Repair preserves the patient's own valve tissue and is preferred whenever anatomically feasible, while replacement with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve is used when the native valve is too damaged to repair. These procedures relieve symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue and prevent long-term complications like heart failure and arrhythmias.
Who may be considered?
Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement 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?
Traditional sternotomy approach where the surgeon reshapes, reinforces, or reconstructs the patient's own mitral valve using techniques such as annuloplasty rings, chordal repair, or leaflet resection.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Open-Heart Mitral Valve Repair
Most PopularTraditional sternotomy approach where the surgeon reshapes, reinforces, or reconstructs the patient's own mitral valve using techniques such as annuloplasty rings, chordal repair, or leaflet resection.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $400 - $900
2D Echocardiography, Transesophageal Echo (TEE), ECG, Chest X-ray, Coronary Angiography, CBC, Coagulation Profile, Kidney and Liver Function Tests
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $8,500 - $13,500
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~7-8 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14-21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 21-28 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist fees
- ICU and ward accommodation
- Operating theatre and heart-lung machine charges
- Standard cardiac medications during stay
- Post-operative echocardiogram before discharge
Usually Not Included
- International flights
- Visa and travel insurance
- Accommodation for attendant outside hospital
- Long-term anticoagulation medication after discharge
- Any complication requiring ICU stay extension
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients are mobilized within 24-48 hours after surgery, spend about a week in hospital, and are advised 4-8 weeks of restricted activity with cardiac rehabilitation before resuming normal life; patients with mechanical valves require lifelong anticoagulant monitoring.
Risks
As with any open-heart surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, arrhythmias, stroke, and reactions to anesthesia, along with valve-specific risks such as prosthesis dysfunction, thrombosis, or the need for reoperation over time.
Alternatives
Depending on valve anatomy and patient risk profile, alternatives may include transcatheter mitral valve repair (e.g., MitraClip) for high-risk surgical candidates, medical management with diuretics and heart failure medications, or watchful waiting with regular echocardiographic monitoring in mild cases.

Common questions
FAQs about Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement in Delhi NCR, India
What is Mitral Valve Disease?
Mitral valve disease is a condition in which the mitral valve — the valve separating the left upper and lower chambers of the heart — does not open or close properly, disrupting normal blood flow through the heart. It includes mitral regurgitation (leaky valve) and mitral stenosis (narrowed valve), which vary in cause, severity, and treatment.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Mitral Valve Disease?
Common symptoms include shortness of breath, particularly during exertion or when lying flat, fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, palpitations, and in more advanced cases, swelling of the legs or ankles. Some people with significant valve disease, however, remain symptom-free for years, while others may develop atrial fibrillation or signs of heart failure before symptoms become obvious. Experiencing any of these symptoms does not confirm mitral valve disease, and a clinical evaluation is needed to determine their cause.
How is Mitral Valve Disease diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a clinical assessment including a physical examination — where a characteristic heart murmur may be detected — followed by an echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound), which is the primary tool for visualising the valve, quantifying regurgitation or stenosis severity, and assessing the impact on heart chamber size and function. Severity is graded as mild, moderate, or severe based on echocardiographic measurements such as valve area, regurgitant volume, and ejection fraction, and additional investigations such as cardiac MRI, stress echocardiography, or cardiac catheterisation may be recommended in complex cases. A definitive assessment and management plan can only be established by a qualified clinician who reviews your individual clinical picture.
How is Mitral Valve Disease treated?
Treatment depends on the type and severity of mitral valve disease, the presence of symptoms, and the overall condition of the heart, and may range from regular monitoring and medical therapy through to surgical or catheter-based intervention. Mild to moderate disease without significant symptoms or cardiac deterioration is often managed conservatively with periodic echocardiographic surveillance and medications to control associated conditions such as atrial fibrillation or heart failure. When the disease is severe, when symptoms develop, or when echocardiographic markers show that the heart is beginning to enlarge or weaken, procedural treatment — typically mitral valve repair or replacement — is generally recommended, and the most appropriate approach is determined by a specialist team on an individual basis.
Can Mitral Valve Disease be treated without a procedure?
Non-procedural management plays an important role in mitral valve disease and may include medications such as diuretics to relieve fluid build-up, rate- or rhythm-control drugs for atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants to reduce stroke risk, and in rheumatic disease, antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent recurrent streptococcal infection. Regular echocardiographic monitoring is a key part of conservative care, as it allows clinicians to track disease progression and time any intervention appropriately. However, medications do not repair a structurally abnormal valve, and if the disease reaches a threshold that puts the heart or patient at significant risk, procedural treatment becomes necessary.
When is Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement considered for Mitral Valve Disease?
Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement 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 Disease?
Mitral valve disease is typically evaluated and managed by a cardiologist with a focus on valvular heart disease, often working within a multidisciplinary heart valve team that includes a cardiothoracic surgeon experienced in mitral valve repair and replacement. In complex or high-surgical-risk cases, input from a cardiac anaesthesiologist and a specialist in interventional cardiology may also be involved.
How do I choose a doctor for Mitral Valve Disease?
When selecting a specialist or centre for mitral valve disease, it is worth asking about the volume of mitral valve cases managed annually, the surgeon's specific experience with valve repair versus replacement (repair is generally preferred where feasible), the availability of a dedicated heart valve clinic or multidisciplinary team, and what structured follow-up care is offered after any procedure.
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.
