Mitral Valve Replacement(MVR): Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Prepartion Before Valve Repair

The patient will undergo general anesthesia before being connected to a heart-lung bypass machine, which ensures continuous blood flow throughout the body during the surgery.

During the procedure

To access the heart, the surgeon will make an incision in the chest. The damaged mitral valve is removed during mitral valve replacement surgery and is replaced with either a mechanical valve or a biological tissue valve—a valve created from the heart tissue of a pig, cow, or human.

After Mitral valve surgery

Patients will often stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for one or more days based on the particular condition.Patients might have IV fluids and medication throughout the hospital stay, including oxygen and pain medication. Regular checks of the blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate will be performed by the healthcare providers.

Post operative care

In a transcatheter procedure, the patient may not require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), but will usually remain in the hospital for at least one night, and this method does not require any fluid drainage. After the MVR procedure, standard instructions will be given to the patient regarding daily activities, including driving, working, and exercising.. Regular follow-ups and health check-ups need to be done post mv repair surgery, as recommended.

Recovery After Mitral Valve Repair

Recovery from mv replacement surgery usually ranges from 4 to 8 weeks. However, the recovery period might vary from person to person based on the severity of the disease, overall health condition, type of surgical method underwent, and age. Minimally invasive MV repair has a number of benefits over traditional open-heart mitral valve replacement, including smaller incisions, a shorter length of hospital stay, and the ability for most patients to gradually resume light activity within two weeks and possibly return to normal activity levels (apart from heavy lifting) within six to eight weeks.
