A heart valve repair is done on the congenital valve defects and has a higher success record for treating the mitral valve defects in India. Some procedures that the surgeons use to repair a valve include- valvuloplasty, commissurotomy, reshaping, repair of the structural support, decalcification and patching. The valvuloplasty strengthens the leaflets using a ring-like device that is attached around the outside of the valve opening. This will offer more support and let the valve close tightly. A commissurotomy is used for narrowed valves where the leaflets are thickened and stuck together. The surgeon will open the valve by cutting the points where the leaflets meet.
During reshaping, the surgeon will cut out a section of a leaflet and once it is sewn back together then the valve will close properly. The repair of a structural support will replace or shorten the cords thereby provide support to the valve. When the cords are at right length, the valves can close properly. The decalcification will remove the calcium buildup from the leaflets and then it can close properly. During patching, the surgeon covers the holes or tears the leaflet with a tissue patch.
