Who is this surgery for?
- Severe mitral valve regurgitation (leaky valve) causing heart failure symptoms.
- Severe mitral valve stenosis (narrowed valve) restricting blood flow.
- Failed previous mitral valve repair or a valve unsuitable for repair.
- Infective endocarditis (valve infection) damaging the valve beyond repair.
- Calcific degeneration of the mitral valve causing significant dysfunction.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and blood tests.
- Discussion with the cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist about the procedure and anesthesia.
- Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised.

- Damage to surrounding structures like blood vessels or other heart valves.
- Blood clot formation on the new valve (thrombosis).
- Valve dysfunction or failure over time, potentially requiring re-operation.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial recovery in the ICU for monitoring, typically for 1-2 days.
- Pain management and breathing exercises to prevent lung complications.
- Gradual increase in physical activity as guided by the cardiac rehab team.
- Lifelong medications may be required (e.g., blood thinners for mechanical valves).
- Regular follow-up appointments and echocardiograms to monitor valve function.

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for...
I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
