About this treatment
Heart Valve Replacement Surgery is performed for patients with severe valve diseases such as aortic stenosis or mitral valve regurgitation. During the procedure, the damaged valve is replaced with either a mechanical or biological artificial valve to restore proper blood flow through the heart. The surgery helps relieve symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest pain, and prevents complications like heart failure.
