Although medications may be used to treat the symptoms of heart valve disease, like a leaky heart valve, they cannot cure it. The most effective heart valve treatments are the repair or replacement of malfunctioning heart valves.
Both minimally invasive valve surgery and open-heart surgery are used to repair or replace heart valves here in Plano. The majority of valve repairs, however, are performed as a minimally invasive procedure that can include those with minimal incisions and possible robotic assistance. Transcatheter (MitraClip®) procedures for mitral valve repair are also possible and have been effectively used with positive outcomes.
Este tipo de procedimientos de intervención para las válvulas cardíacas generalmente resultan en menos cicatrices, una estadía hospitalaria más corta y una recuperación más rápida para la mayoría de los pacientes cardiovasculares.
