Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement are types of heart surgery to fix or replace a leaky or narrowed mitral valve. The mitral valve is one of four heart valves that control blood flow in the heart. It’s located between the upper and lower left heart chambers.Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement may be done as an open-heart surgery or as a minimally invasive surgery. The method used depends on how severe the mitral valve disease is and if it’s getting worse.Surgeons usually recommend mitral valve repair instead of replacement, when possible. It keeps the existing heart valve and can help save heart function.ASD closure is a procedure to close an atrial septal defect (ASD) or hole in your heart.An atrial septal defect (ASD) is an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) between your heart’s two upper chambers (atria). Every baby is born with a small opening there. The hole usually closes a few weeks or months after birth. But sometimes a baby is born with a larger hole that doesn’t close properly.
