Mitral Valve Replacement is a procedure in which the diseased mitral valve of a patient's heart is replaced by either a mechanical or tissue valve.
Mitral Valve Replacement procedure involves the removal of the defective mitral heart valve and replacing it with a new valve.
The surgery team will remove the heart-lung machine and will wire the breastbone back together. Later, the incision is stapled back to the skin.
The cost of Mitral Valve Replacement includes:
The overall cost of the procedure also varies based on the patient's condition and preferences. Some of these factors are:
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.

Some of the tests which you need to undergo before surgery includes chest x ray, ECG, blood tests, echocardiogram and coronary angiogram.
An incision is being made in the middle of your chest, to get access to your heart breast bone will be separated. Heart lung machine is being attached which acts as heart and lung during the procedure, then your surgeon will remove your current mitral heart valve and then replace it with a new valve.
