THE MITRAL VALVE SURGERY

If you feel of unusual sensations of your heart beat; chest pain; difficulty breathing especially after activity; fatigue; coughing; and shortness of breath while lying flat, you maybe have mitral valve problems. Mitral valve problems are mainly due to simple wear and tear that causes part of the valve mechanism to fail. Many mitral valves can be repaired. However, when the valve is too damaged to repair, it must be replaced with an artificial valve. Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis or regurgitation of the mitral valve. While the mitral valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure in which a patient’s mitral valve is replaced by a different valve.

Some surgeons will first recommend repairing the valve instead of replacement. But if the patient is not a good candidate then they must replace the valve. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is much more technically demanding and may involve higher risk. There is a most prestigious hospital that provides comprehensive care. The University of Maryland Medical Center has the higher quality and safety service than any other hospitals around Maryland and the whole world. Their cardiac surgeons are top leaders when it comes in repairing mitral valve.
