Mitral valve repair is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting problems with the mitral valve, which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. This valve is crucial for ensuring that blood flows in one direction through the heart. Common issues requiring repair include mitral valve prolapse, regurgitation, or stenosis. During the procedure, surgeons may repair the valve by removing excess tissue, reinforcing the valve’s structure with rings or patches, or performing other modifications to restore proper function. Mitral valve repair is often preferred over replacement due to its ability to preserve the patient’s natural valve and reduce the risk of complications. Successful repair can significantly improve heart function and overall quality of life.
