Mitral Valve Repair

Pantai Hospital Melaka suggested my 74 yr old mum to do open heart surgery for Mitral Valve Repair. Reason being there is no minimally invasive surgery for Mitral Valve Repair. Can I enquire whether is it the procedure is not available in Melaka and I should bring my mum to the hospital in KL or is minimally invasive surgery not suitable for Mitral Valve Repair?

Answer:

Hi, currently, Pantai Hospital Melaka primarily offers open heart surgery for Mitral Valve Repair, as minimally invasive options may not be available at this branch. However, we recommend consulting with our cardiothoracic specialists at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, where advanced minimally invasive techniques for Mitral Valve Repair are available, and where our team can assess whether this approach is suitable for your mother’s condition. Thank you.
