The mitral valve is on the left side of the heart. It allows blood to flow from the left upper chamber into the left lower chamber.
Healthy heart valves allow blood to flow one way. Diseased valves either leak and cause backflow, or narrow and restrict blood flow.

When it can be repaired, one method used as in this case:
Ring annuloplasty: The surgeon tightens the valve by sewing a ring of metal, cloth, or tissue around the valve.
