Valve-in-Valve procedure

A Valve-in-Valve procedure is a minimally invasive technique used to replace a faulty or failing artificial heart valve without removing it. Instead of surgery, a new valve is carefully guided through blood vessels to the heart and placed inside the old valve. This approach reduces risks and recovery time compared to traditional open-heart surgery. It's often used for patients who can't tolerate major surgery or have high surgical risks. The new valve fits snugly within the existing valve, restoring proper blood flow and improving heart function while avoiding more invasive procedures.
