2. Heart Valve
Blood that flows between different chambers of your
heart must flow through a heart valve. Blood that
flows out of your heart into large arteries must also
flow through a heart valve.
These valves open up enough so that blood can flow
through. They then close, keeping blood from
flowing backward.

3. Type of Heart Valve
There are four valves in your heart:
• Aortic valve
• Mitral valve
• Tricuspid valve
• Pulmonic valve
The aortic valve is the most common valve to be
replaced because it cannot be repaired. The mitral
valve is the most common valve to be repaired. Only
rarely is the tricuspid valve or the pulmonic valve
repaired or replaced.

5. Heart Valve surgery
Heart valve surgery in Delhi is used to repair or
replace diseased heart valves. In most cases, heart
valve replacement is an open heart operation. This
means that the surgeon opens your chest and
heart to remove the damaged valve. The new
artificial (prosthetic) valve is then sewn into place.
In some cases, the valve can be replaced without
opening the chest. Called minimally invasive
surgery, the damaged valve is replaced through a
small incision near the "breastbone" or under your
right chest muscle.
