Valve surgery is a treatment option if you suffer from valve disease or disorders such as valve regurgitation or valvular
stenosis.
Einstein Institute for Heart and Vascular Health's cardiothoracic surgeons fix valve problems using the latest technology
and materials to repair and replace leaky or narrowed heart valves. These procedures can help patients who may have been considered
inoperable before.
Valve Regurgitation: Regurgitation occurs when a heart valve does not close completely causing the blood to leak out of the valve. Blood flow
slows through the heart making the heart unable to get the nutrients it needs.
Valvular Stenosis: A condition where one or more of the heart valves become diseased and begins to narrow.
