Heart valve Repair :
The heart pumps blood to all the tissues and organs in the body. It is a complex organ that has four valves that prevent the backward flow of blood. If one or more of these valves become damaged or diseased, they can cause serious problems in the heart and blood flow. Heart valve repair is a procedure that involves fixing valves that are leaking or have become stiff or narrow. Unlike some other conditions, diseased heart valves cannot heal on their own. In fact, heart valve defects tend to become more severe with time.
A heart valve repair surgery begins with giving the patient anaesthesia. Once the patient is asleep, the surgeon cuts open the chest and the rib cage. Next, the surgeon connects the patient to a heart-lung bypass machine before stopping the heart. Finally, the surgeon repairs the heart or replaces the defective heart valves as the machine pumps the blood. The surgeon restarts the heart, puts back the ribs and stitches the patient to end the procedure.Found 22 Doctors for Heart Valve Repair Treatment in Vijayawada
