The Ultimate Fix For A Leaky Mitral Valve: Find Out Now!

The best solution for a leaky mitral valve is keyhole mitral valve surgery which is now a proven technique experts use to repair or replace the mitral valve. The surgery avoids the traditional technique of breaking the breastbone, and instead, uses small cuts placed strategically between the ribs to achieve the goal of the surgeon.

The UK Mini Mitral Trial 2024 has shown that this procedure is both very safe and effective when performed by experienced surgeons.
