mitral stenosis

How is Mitral Stenosis Treated?

Treatment options for mitral stenosis depend on the severity of the condition and symptomatic presentation. Mild cases may be managed with medications like diuretics, beta-blockers, or anticoagulants. Severe cases often require surgical interventions such as percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty or open-heart surgery for valve repair or replacement. Histological examination of excised valve tissue can provide insights into the extent of the disease and guide post-operative management.
