About heart valve replacement

Valve replacement treats narrowed (stenosed) or leaking (regurgitant) heart valves, most commonly the aortic and mitral valves. Options include open surgery, minimally invasive surgery and, for selected patients, TAVI through a catheter.

Your cardiologist will recommend the best approach based on your echocardiogram and overall health.

Who is it for?

Patients with severe valve disease, including rheumatic heart disease.
