What is Valve Replacement Surgery?
Valve replacement surgery is a specialized procedure to treat damaged or diseased heart valves. The heart has four valves (aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid) that regulate blood flow, ensuring it moves in the correct direction. When one or more valves fail to open or close properly due to conditions such as stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage), valve replacement may become necessary to restore normal heart function.

Dr. Ganesh Shivnani performs the following types of valve replacement surgeries:
- ✅ Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR): Recommended for patients with aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation.
