Commissurotomy Mitral Finger

Digital mitral commissurotomy (mitralis digitalis commissurotomy) is a surgical procedure that is used to treat mitral regurgitation caused by mitral valve stenosis. This condition occurs when the mitral valve leaflets become stiff and cannot open fully, resulting in decreased blood flow through the heart.

The procedure begins with an incision in the chest that passes over the area of ​​the mitral valve. The surgeon then inserts a special instrument called a digital mitral tube through an incision in the heart. The probe is shaped like a finger and is equipped with special instruments to perform the operation.

The purpose of the operation is to cut one or more ligaments that connect the mitral valve leaflets to increase their mobility and improve blood flow through the heart. The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour.

After surgery, the patient may experience discomfort and pain for some time, but this usually goes away quickly. For several days after the operation, the patient must remain in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor.

Mitral digital commissurotomy is an effective treatment for mitral regurgitation. It increases blood flow through the mitral valve and improves heart function. However, like any surgery, it may have some risks and complications, so before undergoing the procedure, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the patient and discuss all possible risks and benefits with the doctor.

The mitral valve commissure is a bicuspid valve that is located in the heart between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Commissures are small folds of tissue that help close the opening and allow the valve to close effectively. However, as
