Mitral valve procedures involve operations on the mitral valve itself. Valvuloplasty widens a stenotic mitral valve; MV repair preserves and retools the native valve to restore function; MV replacement substitutes the valve with a prosthetic one. Coronary artery bypass grafting, by contrast, is a revascularization procedure for the coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart and does not address the mitral valve. It is a different type of heart procedure, though it can be performed alongside valve surgery if needed.
