Dr. (Brig.) S.S Sidhu, the Chief Cardiac Surgeon at SSB Heart & Multispecialty Hospital, outlines the procedures of cardiac valve replacement surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure to treat the damaged cardiac valve that restricts blood flow and forces the heart to pump harder to send blood to the rest of the body. He describes the types of heart conditions and highlights the facts we should know while considering surgical options. Patients who undergo cardiac valve replacement experience improved blood circulation and lowered heart valve disease-related symptoms. More importantly, this surgical intervention also benefits people with complex medical issues for whom regular heart surgery involves significantly greater risks.
