What is Heart Valve Repair?
Heart valve repair is a cardiac surgical procedure performed to correct a damaged or malfunctioning heart valve (commonly the mitral or tricuspid valve) that is leaking (regurgitation) or narrowed (stenosis). Unlike valve replacement, repair preserves the patient's own valve tissue, which generally offers better long-term durability and avoids lifelong blood-thinning medication. It is recommended when the valve structure is suitable for reconstruction rather than replacement.
Who may be considered?
Heart Valve Repair may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Traditional open-heart surgery performed through a full sternotomy with the heart on cardiopulmonary bypass, allowing complete visualization and reconstruction of the affected valve.
Open Surgical Valve Repair (Sternotomy)

Usually Not Included

Recovery and follow-up
Most patients are mobilized within 1-2 days post-surgery and can typically travel home 10-14 days after open or minimally invasive repair, or 5-7 days after a transcatheter procedure, followed by a structured cardiac rehabilitation and echocardiogram-based follow-up plan.
Risks
As with any cardiac procedure, potential risks include bleeding, infection, arrhythmia, residual valve leakage, and rarely stroke or need for conversion to valve replacement; these risks vary by approach and are assessed individually by the surgical team.
Alternatives
Depending on valve anatomy and patient risk profile, alternatives include heart valve replacement (mechanical or bioprosthetic), medical management with medications for symptom control, or a transcatheter valve repair/replacement device in select high-risk cases.
