Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery in Bhubaneswar

Procedure:

Patients having mitral valve surgery receive general anesthesia. Incision can be made somewhat horizontally under the left breast, or vertically through the sternum. After the heart is exposed, canulae are placed to rerout blood to a heart-lung machine for cardiopulmonary bypass. An incision is made in the left atrium to expose the mitral valve. The valve is then replaced with either a biological or mechanical valve. The left artium is then closed, and the patient weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass.

Major Indications:

• Severe Mitral Stenosis.
• Severe Mitral Regurgitation.
