Valve Repair surgery
What is Valve Repair Surgery?
Valve repair surgery is performed to fix the defects associated with heart valves (bicuspid/mitral, tricuspid, aortic or pulmonary). About 95% of all replacement surgeries are performed for aortic or mitral valves. The success rate of these surgeries is between 94 to 97%.
Heart valve replacement is a major surgery that your doctor may recommend if you have a heart valve disease with serious symptoms. In this procedure, a damaged or diseased heart valve is repaired or replaced with a new/artificial heart valve.
Valve repair is often preferred over valve replacement. Ask your doctor about all the treatment options, and consider getting a second opinion from Yashoda Hospitals before undergoing a heart valve replacement.
