Why Valve Repair / Replacement Is Needed
Performed when a heart valve becomes damaged by conditions like rheumatic heart disease, valve degeneration with age, infective endocarditis, congenital defects, or ischemic damage after a heart attack, causing it to either narrow (stenosis) or leak (regurgitation). Correcting the valve becomes necessary when it significantly impairs the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.
