Mitral Valve Repair

“Patient with Mitral Prosthesis is a patient for life”   Robert Frater, Lancet , 1962

Development of Mitral Valve Repair is one of the success stories of modern medicine. Mitral Valve Repair procedure aims for effective restoration of Mitral Valve function with patient own tissue and is associated with significantly better long term results than with prosthetic valve replacement. These goals are achieved due to avoidance of long term anticoagulation (blood thinners), better preservation of native heart function and improved life expectancy.
