Overview

Mitral valve surgery is surgery that can either repair or replace the mitral valve in your heart.

Blood that flows between different chambers of your heart must flow through a valve. One such valve is called the mitral valve. It opens up enough so blood can flow from one chamber of your heart (left atria) to the next chamber (left ventricle). It then closes, keeping blood from flowing backwards.

In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large cut in your breastbone to reach the heart.
