Before mitral valve replacement or repair surgery, an echocardiogram is done to obtain information about your heart condition. Other tests also done include X-rays, CT scans, lung tests, and blood tests. All the aforementioned tests are covered in the package.
Medications are required to treat irregular heartbeats and other complications related to mitral valve prolapse. These are a part of the package when you’re at the hospital, but if you buy the medication from outside the hospital, it is not included in the package.
In a mitral valve replacement surgery, a surgeon extracts the mitral valve from the patient and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made out of a pig, cow, or human heart tissue. Mechanical valves last longer than other types of valves, hence, they cost slightly more than than other.
