What is Mitral Valve Surgery?

Mitral valve minimally invasive surgery is a heart surgery performed through a small incision to repair or replace the mitral valve.

In minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, a smaller incision is required under the operation of a professional physician, usually on the left or right side of the sternum. Compared with traditional thoracotomy, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can reduce the size and number of surgical incisions, thus reducing the patient's surgical trauma and postoperative pain. In addition, smaller surgical incisions can also reduce the risk of surgery-related complications.

It should be noted that the feasibility and indications of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery should be evaluated and decided by a professional cardiovascular physician according to the specific conditions of the patient.
