Heart valve surgery is a procedure used to repair or replace diseased heart valves. Heart valves problems can be caused by various factors including abnormalities present at birth or acquired because of reasons like infection and degeneration. The natural ageing process or the wear and tear over time may also affect and weaken the valves. Other causes are heart attacks or injury. There are two types of valve surgery: valve repair and valve replacement.
NHCS performed 215 isolated valve surgeries excluding the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) cases in 2023. The mortality rate in 2023 was 1.86%.
