Mitral valve repair

valvola-mitrale

Repair of an insufficient/deteriorated mitral valve can be done: Removing the malfunctioning segments of the valve leaflets; implanting “synthetic cords” (which replace the broken or “stretched” natural ones of the valve leaflets); inserting an annular prosthesis (which goes to tighten and reshape the dilated mitral valve annulus); and applying the so-called “mitral clip,” which “pulls” the insufficient valve leaflets closer together, facilitating their closure after the passage of blood and preventing regurgitation.
