Valve Repair Surgery
Heart valve issues can significantly impact the quality of life, but with the right medical expertise, these conditions can be effectively treated. Dr. Ganesh Shivnani, a renowned cardiac surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi, specializes in advanced valve repair surgery, offering patients the best possible outcomes.
What is Valve Repair Surgery?
Valve repair surgery is a cardiac procedure aimed at restoring the function of one or more damaged heart valves. The heart has four valves—mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary—responsible for regulating blood flow. When a valve becomes diseased or dysfunctional due to conditions like valve stenosis or valve regurgitation, it can lead to complications such as breathlessness, fatigue, and heart failure.
Unlike valve replacement, valve repair retains the patient’s natural valve, ensuring better physiological function and longer-lasting results.
Common Conditions Treated with Valve Repair Surgery
- ✅ Mitral Valve Prolapse
- ✅ Mitral Regurgitation
- ✅ Aortic Valve Stenosis

Benefits of Valve Repair Surgery
