An Overview about Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery Options: Review Article

Background: For many years, median sternotomy has been the gold standard for doing any kind of open-heart surgery.The standard full sternotomy method to mitral valve surgery has been shown to be unnecessary, and minimally invasive surgery has been shown to be a viable option with reduced perioperative morbidity as well as short-term mortality. Objective: Review of literature aboutMitral Valve Replacement Surgery Options. Methods: We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for relevant articles on Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery Options. Only the most recent or thorough study was taken into account between October 2011 and February 2023. Documents written in languages other than English have been ignored due to lack of translation funds. Unpublished works, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations were generally agreed upon not to qualify as scientific research. Conclusion: By minimizing the need for large incisions and the associated risks of blood loss, pain, and infection, minimally invasive surgery has gained popularity and has been shown to be effective in a large number of patients undergoing mitral valve surgery. This method provides superior cosmetic outcomes, lowers the risk of sternal infection, minimises pain, necessitates fewer blood transfusions, speeds healing, and shortens the length of hospital staying.
