Heart Valve Repair

Heart valve repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing damaged or malfunctioning heart valves, which regulate blood flow through the heart. When valves don't open or close properly, it can lead to issues like heart murmurs or heart failure. During the repair, surgeons may reshape or reinforce the valve structures, allowing them to function effectively again. This procedure is often preferred over valve replacement, as it preserves the patient's natural valve. Recovery varies, but many patients experience significant improvement in their heart health and overall quality of life after the surgery.
