Hello doctor! I have a heart disease for many years, mitral regurgitation due to prolapse in the P2 region, rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament. Currently having difficulty breathing with exertion, I have used drugs: antihypertensive, coronary dilator, blood fat, aspirin. I would like to ask, does mitral regurgitation, posterior cruciate ligament rupture need surgery and by what method? Thank you.

Hello grandchild! Before consulting your case, the doctor is interested in 2 issues:
Do you go to a cardiologist regularly? Has your doctor advised you to have surgery? Has your child been hospitalized recently because of an exacerbation (difficulty breathing, edema, little urination, ..)? According to your description: Multiple mitral regurgitation due to ligament rupture causing prolapse in the P2 region, difficulty breathing when exertion has been prescribed medication.
With the information you describe, the doctor can not give advice that you need surgery. In this case, the doctor should advise you:
You should re-examine at a facility that specializes in cardiology and especially cardiology. Here you will get the most suitable advice. There are many surgical methods to treat severe mitral regurgitation due to valve prolapse, besides there is another option: MitraClip, which is a cardiovascular interventional technique (catheter intervention) offers the opportunity to help patients with severe mitral regurgitation access a new treatment, improve quality of life, and quickly return to a normal life. You can register for an examination at the Cardiology Department - Hospital of Vinmec Health System to be consulted by a specialist doctor about your current health status.
