Mitral stenosis, or narrowing of the mitral valve, can cause symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue. Our expert team uses minimally invasive techniques to open the valve and restore smooth blood flow, helping you feel energized again.
Mitral stenosis is the narrowing of the mitral valve, which restricts blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This condition often results from rheumatic fever, which causes scarring and thickening of the valve.
Symptoms of mitral stenosis include fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, swelling in the legs, and dizziness. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as heart failure or stroke.
Advanced surgical options at MICSPak are designed to restore proper blood flow, reducing symptoms and helping patients regain their energy.
The procedure is simple and involves a few important steps:
Dr. Shahid will talk to you about your health, discuss your options, and decide if it is right for you.
You will be asleep during the procedure, so you won’t feel anything.
Treatment involves widening the valve or replacing it entirely. Balloon valvuloplasty, a minimally invasive procedure, uses a small balloon to open the narrowed valve. In severe cases, surgical repair or replacement may be necessary. These procedures restore normal blood flow, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall heart function.
After surgery, you’ll be monitored for a few days in the hospital, and most patients go home after 2-3 days.
