CABG + MV Repair Surgery
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is for treating disease of the coronary arteries. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the narrowing of the coronary arteries-the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. CAD is caused by an accumulation of fatty material within the artery walls.
The mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart. It serves as an inflow valve. Its job is to allow blood from the left atrium to flow into the left ventricle. Surgery may be required if the valve doesn’t fully open or completely close. When the valve is too narrow, it can make it difficult for blood to enter. This can cause it to back up, causing pressure in the lungs. When the valve doesn’t close properly, blood can leak back into the lungs. This can be due to a congenital defect, infection, or a degenerative disease
Some patients need CABG + MV Repair Both.
