Overview
Mitral valve surgery can be either a repair for the mitral valve or totally replace it in the heart.
Beside Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMBV), surgical treatments for mitral stenosis include:
- Closed commissurotomy.
- Open commissurotomy (valve repair).
- Mitral valve replacement.
In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large cut in the sternum to reach the heart. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is done through much smaller surgical cuts than the large cuts needed for open surgery.
