A surgical procedure done to replace the mitral valve (Bicuspid valve) with an artificial mechanical or biological tissue valve is known as Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery. MVR surgery is done as a result of dysfunction of bicuspid or mitral valve present between the left atrium and left ventricle. As a result of the mitral valve not working, the blood will backflow into the left atrium, hence sufficient amount of oxygenated blood is not pumped out of the left ventricle to the body organs.
