Heart Valve Replacement
Overview
Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure to replace damaged or diseased heart valves with artificial (mechanical or biological) valves. This procedure restores normal blood flow through the heart and improves cardiac function.
Heart valve replacement can be performed through traditional open-heart surgery or minimally invasive approaches. TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is available for high-risk patients.
