Also known as MVR surgery in short, mitral valve surgery is normally performed either to repair or replace defective mitral valves of the heart. Mitral valve is located in-between two chambers of the heart and is meant to ensure that the blood keeps moving through the heart. However, heart patients are required to undergo mitral valve repair surgery when this heart valve has calcified and hardened and is preventing normal blood flow through the heart. Other reasons for performing mitral valve repair or replacement surgery is when the valve is too loose and is allowing blood to flow backwards. Apart from the traditional open-chest surgery, minimally invasive mitral valve repair and replacement surgery is nowadays available as a treatment option for patients. This operation is performed through several small incisions instead of the large cut required with the open-heart procedure. MVR surgery in India is performed by highly skilled and globally acclaimed cardiac surgeons who are experts and have performed numerous such procedures in the past. Moreover mitral valve repair surgery cost in India is highly affordable and in fact just a fraction of what heart patients may have to pay in developed Western countries for MVR surgery.
