Surgery
Most cases of mitral valve prolapse do not require surgery to recover. However, when serious mitral valve regurgitation occurs, this can be a possible treatment option. Otherwise, it may lead to heart failure. During this procedure, the doctor will replace or repair the mitral valve. This can be done with minimally invasive surgery or open-heart surgery. Both options have pros and cons, so make sure to consult your healthcare provider. After surgery, it takes a few weeks to months for the body to recover fully. You might need to take some special medications or visit the hospital regularly to ensure everything goes well. [8]
