- \Intentional, structural alteration of the human body by mechanical, thermal, light-based, electromagnetic, or chemical means, and/or by the incision or destruction of tissues using instruments to cut, burn, vaporize, freeze, suture, probe, or manipulate by closed reductions.\Surgical procedure on soft tissue (procedure)\Operation on implanted mitral valve\A surgical procedure where a catheter is passed through a cut in the chest wall and then through the heart wall (transapical) and positioned across the leaking mitral valve. A bioprosthetic mitral valve is then passed through the tube (transcatheter) and placed within the existing surgically implanted mitral valve ring. The aim is to treat the leaking mitral valve without needing to repeat open-heart surgery.
