Mitral Valve Intervention

Mitral valve intervention refers to medical procedures aimed at repairing or replacing the mitral valve in the heart. The mitral valve controls blood flow between the heart's left atrium and left ventricle. When it becomes damaged or diseased, it can lead to problems like leaking or narrowing, affecting heart function. Interventions can include surgical repair, minimally invasive techniques, or valve replacement, often performed to relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath or fatigue. These procedures help restore normal blood flow, improving the patient's quality of life and overall heart health.
