Heart Valve Repair or Replacement
Heart valve repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing one or more damaged valves in the heart rather than replacing them. The heart has four valves — mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary — which ensure blood flows in the correct direction through the heart chambers. When a valve is damaged due to disease, infection, congenital defects, or age-related degeneration, it can lead to valve regurgitation (leaking) or valve stenosis (narrowing). This can strain the heart, reduce blood flow, and eventually cause heart failure if left untreated. Unlike valve replacement, repair preserves the patient’s natural valve tissue, which helps maintain normal heart function and reduces complications like blood clots and the need for lifelong anticoagulation.
