Overview

Surgical approach

The mitral valve can either be repaired or replaced. Mitral valve repair is the treatment of choice for patients with both secundum ASD and mitral valve disease. When valve replacement is the only alternative, selection of prosthetic valves and maintenance of cardiac output by temporary cardiac pacing are important considerations.[1]
