Hi, soon my father got sick and had to take him to the hospital. Because he had an arrhythmia of the heart and a bit of a sick thing, but it was not like that until now. He was a very holy man, and he couldn't do it. The hospital stabilized him, but the research shows there was a problem with the mitral valve of the heart and they said it would be good to operate because it gets worse with time. So is my question a very risky operation? I know that recovery is a long one, and it lasts for at least three months. They generally say that the valve itself can only be subject to reconstruction without changing which is the best option. Thank the people who will answer:)

Of course it's risky. Complete anesthesia always poses risks, especially in people with heart problems, and transthoracic incision is a severe trauma. No one can give guarantees on the operating table. There are simple operations with a fatal outcome and complex with a happy.

It is better rather to do the operation for 2 reasons:
1. It will get worse the flap with time.
2. Your father will get older, and the older he is, the more risky the operation will be.
Before the heart surgery, all the best specialists from Bulgaria were collected because it was unusual, but now every day they are doing cardiac surgery in Sofia, so it is routine for them.
Soon an acquaintance was operating and replaced the valve with artificial. After 3 months, he wanted to get back to work and he felt great. He's 40 years old.

Surgery is always a risk, but it is a relatively routine operation. It is good to operate as soon as possible, since with procrastination the load on the heart increases-the disturbed movement of blood causes thickening, and subsequently an extension of the cardiac cavities. The more it expands the more inefficient the heart becomes, and that is irreversible.
