Mitral Valve Surgery

Mitral Valve Surgery at Yorkshire Clinic

What is a Mitral Valve Surgery?

Mitral valve surgery is a surgical operation performed if you have a serious mitral valve problem or your mitral valve problem is causing symptoms. A mitral valve is the valve located between your left heart chambers.

Mitral valve problems include:

  • Mitral valve prolapse - where your mitral valve is too floppy and does not close tightly.
  • Mitral regurgitation - where the mitral valve does not close properly and leaks leading to some blood flowing the wrong way in your heart.
  • Mitral stenosis - where your mitral valve does not open as wide as it should and this restricts the flow of blood through your heart.

There are three main types of mitral valve surgery.

  • Mitral valve repair – makes the flaps of your mitral valve stay closer together. It is carried out to treat mitral valve prolapse or regurgitation.
  • Mitral valve replacement - replaces your mitral valve with a new one that can be artificial or made from animal tissue. Usually performed for mitral stenosis or prolapse, or mitral regurgitation if you are unable to have a valve repair.
  • Balloon valvuloplasty – where the mitral valve is stretched and widened with a small balloon, used to treat mitral stenosis.
