Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons at the Top Ichilov clinic are highly skilled specialists who provide recovery to a large number of patients with cardiovascular diseases, including those with pathology of the bicuspid (mitral) valve. They expertly perform minimally invasive surgical interventions on a beating heart (such as valve repair and replacement), and when diseases are detected at an early stage, they successfully apply medication therapy with the latest generation of drugs. Accurate diagnostics, conducted with modern equipment, allows for the selection of the most effective treatment methods.
Latest Achievements – Safeguarding Your Heart Health
Mitral valve prolapse is the sagging of its leaflets into the left atrium during the contraction of the left ventricle. This occurs due to structural changes in the leaflets of the mitral valve as a result of connective tissue disorders. As a result, blood flow is disrupted, and a portion of it is thrown back into the atrium. This process is called regurgitation. If the volume of blood is insignificant, the patient may not even feel any symptoms of the disease. Therefore, conducting any therapy in such cases is not advisable.
Treatment of mitral valve prolapse in Israel is prescribed in cases of significant regurgitation, when heart rhythm disturbances, shortness of breath, fainting, dizziness, chest pain on the left side, etc., are noted.
- Medication treatment. Beta-blockers help alleviate pain, restore normal heart rhythm, and improve blood flow. Since symptoms usually appear during stress and anxiety, sedative medications are prescribed to reduce nervous tension. The pharmaceutical agents used in Israel are completely safe, highly effective, and have no side effects.
- Surgical intervention. The goal of the surgery is to reconstruct the anatomical shape of the valve or replace it with a prosthesis to prevent the backflow of blood into the atrium. This is used when significant leaflet prolapse and pronounced backflow of blood (III-IV degree) are detected. Israeli cardiac surgeons expertly perform any surgeries. In the absence of contraindications, preference is given to minimally invasive, endoscopic interventions on a beating heart, which significantly reduce the risks of complications during and after surgery.
- Plastic surgery is performed if it is necessary to restore the normal structure and shape of the valve (leaflet correction, repair of ruptures, etc.).
- Annuloplasty is performed to strengthen the base of the leaflets by suturing them to a special ring.
- Prosthesis – this is the replacement of the valve, which is performed if other types of surgery cannot achieve the desired result. Modern implants are made from safe biological or composite materials, integrate well, and successfully perform their function for a long time.

Diagnosis of Mitral Valve Prolapse in Israel
In our clinic, a comprehensive examination can be completed in the shortest possible time – all appointments for cardiovascular diseases are carried out within a maximum of 4 days – traditionally, by the 3rd day after the patient's arrival, doctors formulate a treatment plan.
Day One. From the Airport – to the Doctor's Appointment
In Israel, the patient will not waste a single minute. All stages of treatment are clearly planned and take minimal time. Therefore, upon arrival in the country, accompanied by an international department manager, the patient is immediately taken to the clinic for an appointment with a cardiologist. No queues or waiting.
The doctor studies the medical history and gives directions for tests, the results of which should complement the existing data.
Day Two. Examination – All Procedures in 1 Day
For cardiovascular pathologies, including mitral valve prolapse, the following are performed:
- blood tests;
- auscultation;
- chest X-ray;
- echocardiographic and electrocardiographic studies;
- CT, MRI, etc.
Day Three. The Council Makes the Final Decision
The expert group of specialists makes a decision on treatment methods. If surgical intervention is necessary, they determine the type of surgery and its scope. Treatment is detailed and individualized for each patient. A collegial approach ensures high success and safety of the therapy conducted.
