Aortic stenosis is a form of aortic valve disease. With this condition, the aortic valves flaps (cusps) have thickened or become stiff and could possibly fuse together, which narrows the valve. Because of this, the valves opening is narrowed and blocks or reduces.

What Is Mitral Valve Surgery?
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a surgery where the mitral valve in the heart is repaired or replaced. A surgeon performs the heart surgery through a small incision on the right side of the chest.
Am I The Right Candidate?
If the mitral valve is hardened, too loose, does't open properly, has enlarged or bulging flaps, and causes a person major problems like chest pain and shortness of breath, then surgery may be the best bet to correct the condition.
What Can I Expect?
Being a minimally invasive procedure, mitral valve surgery has a shorter recovery time compared to other surgeries, along with a smaller surgical scar. Patients can expect to gradually regain energy and return to their normal activities.
