Introduction

Heart health is a critical aspect of overall wellbeing, and when it comes to precise surgical interventions, having access to specialized care is of utmost importance. At Livasa Nawanshahr, part of the renowned Livasa Hospitals, we pride ourselves on providing gentle yet effective cardiac surgery in Punjab. Our focus is particularly on mitral valve surgery—a delicate procedure undertaken to address issues with the heart's mitral valve.

The heart's mitral valve plays a crucial role in ensuring one-way blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. When dysfunctional, it can lead to serious health issues. This blog explores mitral valve surgery, its necessity, benefits, and how Livasa Nawanshahr stands out in delivering this care with precision.

Understanding Mitral Valve Surgery

Mitral valve surgery involves repairing or replacing the mitral valve—the valve that acts as a gateway between two main chambers of the heart. Problems with this valve can disrupt normal blood flow and may require surgical intervention to treat conditions such as mitral valve regurgitation and mitral stenosis.

• Mitral Valve Regurgitation: This occurs when the mitral valve doesn't close tightly, causing blood to flow backward into the left atrium.
• Mitral Stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the mitral valve, which impedes the flow of blood into the left ventricle.

Indications for the Surgery

The need for mitral valve surgery is typically diagnosed when patients experience symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, palpitations, or swelling in the feet. Conditions like mitral valve prolapse or rheumatic fever could necessitate surgical intervention. Diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, MRI, and cardiac catheterization help in assessing the severity and deciding on the appropriate course of treatment.

Treatment Options

The primary treatment options for mitral valve issues include mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement. The decision between the two typically depends on the specific condition of the valve and the patient's overall health.
