Heart valve surgery replaces or repairs a narrowed valve. Heart valves need to work properly and efficiently as it helps in the right flow of blood through your heart. Surgery options for heart valves entail through a vein, minimally invasive, and open surgery. Recovery might take 2 to 3 months. However, it also depends on the type of surgery. 

Types of Heart Valve

Tricuspid: there are two chambers Right Atrium (i.e., upper chamber) and Right Ventricle (i.e., lower chamber), which transform the Oxygen-poor blood from the upper chamber to the lower chamber via the Tricuspid. 

Pulmonary: shifting oxygen-poor blood from the lower chamber to the pulmonary artery (connected to the lungs) via the pulmonary heart valve.

Mitral: passes of oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium (i.e., upper chamber) to the left ventricle (i.e., lower chamber).

Aortic: shifts the oxygen-rich blood from the lower chamber, i.e., the left ventricle, to the entire body via the aorta.

Failure of any of the above heart valves requires a heart valve surgery of two types that are:

Valve Repair Surgery 

The doctor's first option is heart valve repair, as it is a fast mode of treatment. Repairing the heart valve is mainly associated with the mitral valve, but in some cases, it could also perform on the tricuspid valve or aortic valve. 

Valve Replacement Surgery 

The last option left with the doctor is the replacement of the heart valve with another biological or mechanical valve. Biological valves like human tissue, pig, cow, etc., and mechanical valves like carbon or metal. The body must react with the alien valve. Therefore, all replacement valves are biocompatible; thus, the immune system does not attack foreign property.
