Valve Repair & Replacement Surgery is a specialized cardiac procedure performed to correct damaged or diseased heart valves. Healthy heart valves ensure smooth, one-way blood flow through the heart. When valves become narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), timely surgical intervention is essential to restore normal heart function and prevent complications.
Under the expert care of Dr. Ajay Kaul, Chairman – Fortis Heart Institute, patients receive world-class valve surgery backed by over 38 years of surgical excellence and more than 25,000 successful cardiac procedures.
