What is the Mitral Valve Surgery

It is a minimally invasive surgery to repair the mitral valve, performed through a small incision of 4 to 6 cm in the lateral wall of the right hemithorax, in the submammary line of the skin.

Description of the procedure

In this minimally invasive surgery, specific instruments are used, being a safe procedure in which the most advanced mitral valve repair techniques are applied, with a repair rate of 85% of cases.

In the case of mitral valve replacement by a mechanical or biological prosthesis, this minimal-incision approach can also be applied. At the end of the procedure, the skin incision is closed with an intradermal suture with excellent aesthetic results.

Patient recovery is faster and patients report less postoperative pain and an early return to their daily and professional activities.
