Advanced Heart Valve Repair Surgery
Heart valve disease can significantly affect heart function and quality of life. Under the expert care of Dr. Ganesh Shivnani, valve repair surgery is performed with a strong emphasis on preserving the patient’s natural valve, ensuring better long-term outcomes and improved heart performance.
With extensive experience in managing complex and high-risk cardiac conditions, Dr. Shivnani specializes in advanced valve repair techniques that restore normal valve function while minimizing surgical risk.
What Is Valve Repair Surgery?
Valve repair surgery is a specialized cardiac procedure used to correct damaged or malfunctioning heart valves without replacing them. The heart’s valves — mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary — regulate blood flow, and repair is often preferred when feasible due to its physiological and long-term benefits.
Conditions Treated With Valve Repair
- Mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation
- Tricuspid valve regurgitation
- Selected cases of aortic valve disease
- Congenital valve abnormalities in adults
Advanced Valve Repair Techniques
Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and disease severity. Modern surgical approaches improve durability, reduce complications, and support faster recovery.
- Mitral valve repair with leaflet reconstruction
- Annuloplasty to strengthen and stabilize the valve ring
- Chordal repair or replacement
- Minimally invasive valve repair in selected patients
Benefits of Valve Repair Over Replacement
- Preserves the patient’s natural heart valve
- Better long-term heart function
- Lower risk of infection and blood clots
- No lifelong anticoagulation in most cases
- Improved quality of life
Recovery & Long-Term Care
Recovery following valve repair surgery includes structured ICU monitoring, gradual mobilization, and long-term follow-up. Patients receive guidance on medications, lifestyle modification, and cardiac rehabilitation to maintain optimal heart health.
With expert surgical care and personalized treatment planning, valve repair surgery can provide durable relief and significantly improve long-term cardiac outcomes.
