Valve Surgery

Valve Surgery – Restoring Heart Function with Expert Care by Dr. Mamtesh Gupta

Heart valves play a critical role in regulating blood flow through the heart’s chambers. When one or more valves become damaged or diseased, they can disrupt the normal flow of blood and lead to serious health complications. Valve surgery is a specialized procedure that aims to repair or replace these faulty valves, helping restore normal heart function and improve a patient’s quality of life.

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta, DM – Cardiology, is a renowned cardiologist in Meerut with extensive experience in diagnosing and managing complex valve disorders. Her expertise in evaluating valve conditions and guiding patients through surgical or interventional treatments has made her a trusted name in cardiac care.

Understanding Valve Diseases

The human heart has four valves – the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves. These valves open and close with each heartbeat to ensure unidirectional blood flow.

Common valve disorders include:

• Stenosis – narrowing of the valve, restricting blood flow.

• Regurgitation (or insufficiency) – valve doesn’t close properly, causing blood to leak backward.

• Prolapse – one or more flaps of the valve bulge or fall backward.

Valve diseases can result from congenital defects, rheumatic fever, infections (endocarditis), or age-related degeneration.

When is Valve Surgery Needed?

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta may recommend valve surgery when medication alone is no longer sufficient to control symptoms or prevent complications. Indications include:

• Severe valve stenosis or regurgitation

• Worsening heart failure symptoms

• Enlarged heart or declining heart function

• Risk of life-threatening complications like arrhythmia or stroke

Timely intervention can prevent irreversible damage to the heart muscle and significantly improve life expectancy and quality of life.

Types of Valve Surgery

At Dr. Mamtesh Gupta’s clinic, patients are carefully evaluated to determine the most appropriate surgical option, which may include:

• Valve Repair – Preferred when the native valve can be preserved. Techniques include reshaping valve tissue, patching holes, or supporting the valve with a ring (annuloplasty).

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta’s Approach to Valve Surgery

Dr. Mamtesh Gupta believes in a patient-centric approach. She works closely with a team of cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists to ensure each patient receives personalized care.

• Diagnosing valve disease using advanced imaging like Echo and Cardiac MRI

• Assessing surgical candidacy

• Pre- and post-surgical care and rehabilitation

• Monitoring for long-term outcomes

With her strong academic background (DM – Cardiology) and years of clinical experience, Dr. Gupta ensures that patients are guided through the entire treatment journey with clarity and compassion.

Recovery and Outcomes

After valve surgery, most patients experience a significant improvement in symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, and chest discomfort. Recovery time depends on the type of surgery, overall health, and adherence to post-operative care.

• Cardiac rehabilitation

• Medications to support heart function

• Regular follow-ups and imaging to monitor progress
