Mitral Valve Awareness: How Is Mitral Valve Disease Treated?

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - The "bad news" about mitral valve disease is that only 15% of patients get treatment. The "good news" is that there are safe-and-effective mitral valve disease therapies that can restore normal life expectancy for patients with mitral regurgitation and/or mitral stenosis.

To learn the different approaches for treating mitral valve disease, we interviewed Dr. Joanna Chikwe, Chair of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Important questions answered by Dr. Chikwe in this video include:

1. Can mitral valve disease be treated with medication?

2. How safe is mitral valve surgery?

3. What are the two main types of mitral valve treatment?

4. What are the three ways to access the mitral valve inside the heart?

5. What is Dr. Chikwe's advice for patients needing mitral valve surgery using surgical or transcatheter techniques?
