Valve Replacement and Repair
When heart valves don’t function properly, it leads to two main types of heart valve disease: Stenosis, where narrowing obstructs blood flow, forcing the heart to work harder, and Regurgitation, where a leaky valve causes inefficient pumping as blood flows backward.
Whether caused by infection, inflammation, degeneration, scarring, or fragility, valve repair or replacement might be necessary for treatment.
