Mitral valve surgery is a surgery to either repair or replace the mitral valve in your heart.
Blood that comes from the lungs enters the left atrium of the heart and crosses into the left ventricle. The mitral valve between these two chambers makes sure that the blood keeps moving forward. when the mitral valve is hardened (calcified), it prevents the blood from moving forward. When the mitral valve is too loose, the blood tends to flow backwards. Both of these conditions cause symptoms and may require mitral valve surgery.
Minimally<unk>  mitral valve surgery is done through much smaller surgical cuts than the large cuts needed for open surgery.
