Valve Repair or Replacement Surgery
Valve repair or replacement surgery is a procedure to fix or replace damaged heart valves, which help control blood flow through the heart. When valves don't open or close properly, it can lead to serious health issues. In repair surgery, the surgeon corrects the valve to restore normal function. If it's too damaged, the valve may be replaced with a mechanical or biological one. This surgery helps improve heart function and can relieve symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain, ultimately enhancing overall quality of life for patients with heart valve problems.
