Heart Valve Repair & Replacement

Heart valve repair and replacement are surgical procedures to treat damaged or diseased heart valves, which control blood flow within the heart. Repair involves fixing the existing valve to improve function, while replacement involves removing the faulty valve and replacing it with a mechanical or biological valve. These surgeries can alleviate symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, improve heart function, and enhance quality of life. They are crucial for conditions like valvular stenosis or regurgitation, where valves do not open or close properly, compromising the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
