Heart valve surgery has become better with minimally invasive and transcatheter methods that minimize trauma and recovery. Valve replacement and repair are now performed by surgeons using sophisticated robotic and imaging modalities, making procedures more accurate and safer. These methods are more widely used for a myriad of cardiac diseases such as aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve diseases. Perioperative management and patient selection are important determinants of outcome. Postoperative follow-up and management protocols are maximized to promote long-term valve function as well as patient quality of life. Ongoing research and development in repair methods for the valve maximize surgical safety, minimize complications, and enhance survival in cardiac patients across the globe.
