About Heart valve Issues

Heart valve issues happen when one or more of the heart's valves don’t open or close properly.

Includes

  • Mitral Valve Stenosis or Regurgitation
  • Aortic Valve Stenosis or Regurgitation
  • Tricuspid or Pulmonary Valve Disease
  • Rheumatic Heart Disease
  • Degenerative Valve Disease (Aging-Related)
  • Congenital Valve Defects (in Children/Adults)
  • Valve Disease with Heart Failure
  • Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction
  • Multivalve Disease

Top Treatment Options

Heart Valve Repair Surgery

Heart valve repair surgery involves fixing a damaged heart valve (commonly the mitral or tricuspid) instead of replacing it. Surgeons reshape, patch, or tighten the valve using minimally invasive or open-heart techniques to restore normal blood flow within the heart.

Advantages
  • 1. Preserves native valve – Better heart function and fewer long-term complications.
  • 2. No lifelong blood thinners – Unlike mechanical valve replacement.
  • 3. Lower infection risk – Native tissue repairs are less prone to infection than prosthetics.
Limitations
  • 1. Not suitable for all valves – Some valves are too damaged and require replacement.
  • 2. May need reoperation – Repaired valves may deteriorate over time.
  • 3. Technically complex – Requires experienced surgeons and high-end facilities.

Heart Valve Replacement (Open or Minimally Invasive)

Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged heart valve is removed and replaced with either a mechanical or biological (tissue) valve. It can be done via open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on patient condition and valve type.

Advantages
  • 1. Restores blood flow efficiency – Improves symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, and chest pain.
  • 2. Long-term durability – Especially with mechanical valves, lasting 20+ years.
  • 3. Option for all valve types – Works for aortic, mitral, tricuspid, or pulmonary valves.
Limitations
  • 1. Lifelong medication (for mechanical valves) – Requires blood thinners to prevent clots.
  • 2. Higher infection or rejection risk – Particularly with prosthetic valves.
  • 3. Recovery time – Open surgery has longer hospital stays and recovery periods.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR / TAVI)

TAVR (or TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly (aortic stenosis). A catheter is inserted through the groin or chest, and a new valve is placed without opening the chest.

Advantages
  • 1. Minimally invasive – No need for open-heart surgery; faster recovery.
  • 2. Ideal for high-risk patients – Especially elderly or those with other health conditions.
  • 3. Short hospital stay – Many patients discharged within 2–4 days.
Limitations
  • 1. Costly – Generally more expensive than open surgery.
  • 2. Valve durability – May not last as long as surgical valves (especially in younger patients).
  • 3. Not suitable for all – Complex anatomy or other valve issues may require open surgery.
