Mitral regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve doesn’t close tightly, allowing blood to flow backward. We provide advanced surgical solutions to repair or replace the valve, preventing further damage and restoring your heart’s strength.
Mitral regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve does not close completely, causing blood to flow backward into the left atrium. This backward flow increases the workload on the heart and can lead to heart enlargement or reduced efficiency.
Causes include mitral valve prolapse, infections like endocarditis, or heart disease. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, and a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Advanced surgical options at MICSPak are designed to restore proper blood flow, reducing symptoms and helping patients regain their energy.

Dr. Shahid will talk to you about your health, discuss your options, and decide if it is right for you.

Treatment focuses on repairing or replacing the valve. Minimally invasive techniques, such as robotic-assisted surgery, allow for quicker recovery and minimal scarring. With timely intervention, mitral regurgitation can be effectively managed, preventing long-term damage to the heart.
After surgery, you’ll be monitored for a few days in the hospital, and most patients go home after 2-3 days.
