Percutaneous Valve Intervention

Percutaneous valve intervention is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat heart valve problems without open-heart surgery. Doctors access the heart through a small incision, often in the leg, using thin tubes called catheters. These catheters allow them to repair or replace damaged heart valves. This approach reduces recovery time, minimizes pain, and lowers the risk of complications compared to traditional surgery, making it a safer option for many patients with heart valve issues.
