Heart Valve Repair
Heart valve repair is a surgical or minimally invasive procedure that corrects a heart valve that is not functioning properly. Heart valve repair usually involves the heart valve leaflets that open and close to pump blood through the heart.
Your cardiac surgeon shall investigate and advise if repairing your heart valve is the best way to treat your heart valve disease.
Heart Valve Replacement
When valve repair shall not be of help, replacing your damaged heart valve may be the most effective treatment for your condition. Also known as Heart Valve Replacement, Aortic Valve Replacement, is a cardiac surgery procedure in which the damaged heart valve is replaced with a new valve. This valve can be a tissue valve taken from some other body, or may be of animal or an artificial or prosthetic valve.
Heart valve repair or replacement can be done for one single valve or more than one depending upon the condition of your valves.
A valve that does not open fully will limit forward blood flow. This is called Stenosis. Tests show that the changes in your heart valve are beginning to seriously affect your heart function. Your heart valve has been damaged by infection of the heart valve (Endocarditis). You have received a new heart valve in the past, and it is not working well, or you have other problems such as blood clots, infection, or bleeding. Remove calcium deposits that may have built up around the valve leaflets Repair the cords that control the movement of the valve leaflets Reattach the valve to its cords Add support to the base of the valve (annulus) by adding tissue or by sewing an annulus band or ring around the outside of the valve Maintain an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood flowing through your heart Reduce the possibility of damaging your heart and blood vessels Give you the best possible option for returning a healthy and active life- Why is it required?
You may need surgery if your valve does not work properly.
A valve that does not close all the way will allow blood to leak backwards. This is called Regurgitation.
You may need heart valve surgery for these reasons:
Defects in your heart valve are causing major heart symptoms, such as chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, fainting spells (syncope), or heart failure.
What is done during CABG/Redo CABG?

During the procedure, you'll be put on a heart/lung machine that takes over your breathing and blood circulation. One or more of the following procedures are carried out to repair your heart valve:
Resize the valve by removing extra tissue
