Overview
Common complications of mitral regurgitation surgery blood loss, systemic embolization, structural deterioration, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, endocarditis and other infections.
Complications
- Common complications of mitral regurgitation surgery including:
Risks for any surgery
- Blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungs
- Blood loss
- Breathing problems
- Infection, including in the lungs, kidneys, bladder, chest, or heart valves
- Reactions to medicines
Possible risks from having open-heart surgery
- Heart attack or stroke
- Heart rhythm problems
- Infection in the cut, which is more likely to happen in people who are obese, have diabetes, or have already had this surgery.
- Memory loss and loss of mental clarity, or "fuzzy thinking."
- Post-pericardiotomy syndrome, which is a low-grade fever and chest pain. This could last for up to 6 months.
Prosthetic heart valves are associated with a variety of complications
- Structural deterioration, particularly with bioprosthetic valves
- Valve obstruction due to thrombosis or pannus formation
- Systemic embolization
- Bleeding
- Endocarditis and other infections
- Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which may be preexisting.
- Hemolytic anemia
