Mitral Valve Replacement in Karnataka

Why Mitral Valve Replacement Is Needed

This surgery is performed when the mitral valve is too damaged to repair, due to severe rheumatic heart disease, extensive calcification, infective endocarditis, or a failed prior repair, causing either significant narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation) of the valve. It becomes necessary once the damaged valve substantially strains heart function and cannot be reliably fixed with repair techniques.
