Heart Valve Replacement in Malaysia
Overview
Heart valve surgery addresses severe valve disease that impairs cardiac function. Surgical options include valve repair (preferable when feasible, particularly for the mitral valve) and valve replacement with mechanical or biological prostheses. Minimally invasive valve surgery through smaller incisions is increasingly available, reducing recovery time. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI/TAVR) is now available for high-risk surgical patients, delivering a new valve via catheter without open-heart surgery. Mitral valve repair rates in experienced centres exceed 95%.
