Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair
Introducion Minimal invasive mitral valve repair is a method of treating a diseased mitral valve without cutting a chest bone or performing open-heart surgery. Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair is performed to repair the diseased mitral valve, which helps blood circulation between the left ventricle and left atrium. It can be performed with the surgical robot, where your surgeon uses tiny cameras and tools to perform surgery. It is a safer alternative than traditional open-heart surgeries.
Mitral Valve Repair Procedure Minimal invasive mitral valve replacement or surgery is performed if you have mitral valve disease such as: Mitral valve regurgitation, which is caused due to the loosening of flaps of the mitral valve, causes blood leakage. It is often seen in people with mitral valve prolapse. Doctors highly recommend minimally invasive mitral valve surgery to treat this disease. Mitral valve stenosis is caused due to narrowing of the mitral valve, which reduces the blood flow in the region. Procedure Here are the things performed before minimally invasive mitral valve surgery or replacement: The doctor performs an echocardiogram test to evaluate blood flow in your heart and to examine your heart valves. They can also do CT Scan if needed to examine your arteries. The doctor will give you general anaesthesia before performing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.
During the minimally invasive mitral valve surgery The doctor makes a 2-3 inches incision near the sternum (breastbone). They divide the muscles to reach your heart and repair or replace the mitral valve. They insert an endoscope to inspect your mitral valve and perform surgical operations through special small surgical tools. The process usually takes 2-4 hours to complete. The surgeon can replace your mitral valve or repair it (if possible); in that case, they will perform Ring Annuloplsty or Valve Repair via sewing a metal ring around the valve. After finishing the surgery doctor will close the incision with stitches.
After minimally invasive mitral valve Replacement/surgery You will be put under observation in ICU for 24 hours and may get discharged within 3-4 days, depending on your condition. You need to follow a balanced diet and breathing exercises for quick relief. Stop smoking after surgery to avoid complications Follow these precautions before surgery: Ask the doctors in advance, such as when you should stop eating before surgery. Type of food you should consume before and after surgery. If any reactions and allergies persist, then speak to your doctor. Avoid wearing contact lenses, eyeglasses, jewellery, nail polish, and dentures during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.
Benefits Of A Minimally Invasive Approach Minimal incision means you don’t need to undergo complicated and risky open-heart surgeries Rapid healing means you will heal faster and take less time to recover. Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery/replacement has a low risk of infection and blood loss during surgery. You will recover fast, which means short hospital stays, and you will not get burdened with expensive hospital bills. Minimal incision means reduced scarring due to surgical operation.
Risk and Complications Possible risk of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery includes: Bleeding Blood clots Malfunction of the replacement valve Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) Infection Stroke Death
Recovery and Follow-up You may feel weakness and tiredness for a few weeks after the surgery, but it will heal faster than traditional open-heart surgeries. The doctor may suggest when you can get to work and follow your daily routine. Visit the doctor for any side effects or complications, and you must have a general routine check-up after 15 days of your surgery. You can also follow breathing exercises, avoid smoking and eat a healthy diet for a fast recovery.
