surgical valve replacement

Surgical valve replacement is a procedure to fix a damaged heart valve by removing the malfunctioning valve and replacing it with a new, artificial one. This helps ensure blood flows properly through the heart, improving circulation and reducing symptoms like fatigue or shortness of breath. The surgery is performed under anesthesia through an open chest procedure, allowing the surgeon to carefully remove the faulty valve and implant the prosthetic. Recovery involves hospital stay and gradual return to normal activities. This operation can significantly improve quality of life and heart function for individuals with valve disease.
