About Mitral Valve Replacement
Mitral valve replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased mitral valve in the heart, often necessary for severe mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis.

Risks include bleeding, infection, and complications related to anesthesia. Patients should follow pre-surgery instructions, including medication adjustments, and inform healthcare providers about any existing medical conditions. After surgery, they should adhere to post-operative care guidelines, including medication regimens and lifestyle modifications. Regular follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring and optimizing outcomes while minimizing the risk of complications.
