MVR SURGERY IN INDIA

What Is Mitral Valve Disease ?

Heart Specialists at We Care partner hospitals in India are among the most experienced in the country in treating mitral valve disease, evaluating thousands of patients each year. Patients benefit from our partner hospitals state-of-the-art facilities, leading-edge medical treatment, and access to clinical trials and new treatments for the disease.

Heart surgeons in India are renowned for their experience and expertise in repairing and replacement of mitral heart valves. In some cases, surgery can be done with minimally invasive techniques, including robot-assisted surgery, that can result in significantly less pain and recovery time for patients.

What are the surgical options?

Many mitral valves can be repaired, especially if they leak due to degenerative disease. A separate discussion of mitral valve repair will be available through this site. In many cases, however, the valve is too damaged to permit repair and the valve must be replaced with a prosthetic (artificial) valve. Valves damaged by rheumatic disease often must be replaced.

In general terms, there are two types of artificial valves available – mechanical valves made entirely from metal and pyrolytic carbon – or biological valves – made from animal tissues. Each has advantages and disadvantages with respect to durability (how long they will last) and risk of blood clots forming on the valve.

The choice of which type to use should be made by you and your doctors taking the following into consideration : –

Your age
Other medical conditions
Your preferences with regard to medications and the risk of reoperation
Your lifestyle.

Symptoms of Mitral Valve Stenosis Surgery in India

Signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis depend on how severely and quickly the condition develops. Some people never develop symptoms

Some have mild problems that suddenly get worse. Signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis include: –

Shortness of breath, especially with physical exertion (exercise) or when the person lies down
Fatigue, especially during increased activity
Swollen feet or ankles
Heart palpitations – sensations of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat
Dizziness or fainting spells
Frequent respiratory infections, such as bronchitis
Heavy coughing, sometimes with blood-tinged sputum
Rarely, chest discomfort or chest pain

What causes mitral valve problems?

Mitral valve problems are rarely caused by a birth defect, otherwise known as a congenital condition. More often, simple “wear and tear” may cause part of the valve mechanism to fail. This is called “degenerative disease”. This may be related to advancing age, although many young people will have this condition as well. Rheumatic fever may damage the mitral valve causing stenosis or regurgitation. Occasionally the mitral valve is damaged by infection or bacterial endocarditis. Ischemic heart disease (coronary artery disease) can also cause the mitral valve to leak.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Causes of Mitral Valve Stenosis Surgery in India

The mitral valve can narrow because of conditions that include : –

Rheumatic fever : – In some people, the body’s response to the strep throat infection leads to mitral valve damage that causes the valve to become inflamed, thicken, and leak (mitral regurgitation). This inflammatory process can cause the valve to fuse and harden, resulting in mitral stenosis. People who have had rheumatic fever may have both mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation.

Congenital heart defect : – Some infants are born with a narrowed mitral valve and develop mitral stenosis early in life. Babies born with this problem usually require heart surgery to fix the valve. Others are born with a malformed mitral valve and have a risk of developing mitral stenosis when they’re older.
