Is heart valve repair surgery considered a major medical condition?

Heart valve repair surgery for mitral valve and aortic valve insufficiency is a surgical treatment for more serious diseases.
In the case of severe mitral or aortic valve insufficiency, obvious signs and symptoms, and heart failure, the disease has entered a stage of serious deterioration and may rapidly progress to the point of being life-threatening, requiring early direct surgery under extracorporeal circulation, and the types of direct surgery include valve repair and prosthetic valve replacement.
Compared with prosthetic valve replacement, prosthetic valve repair requires a higher degree of valve integrity, adhesion, and elasticity, and the complexity of the surgical technique requires a great deal of experience, as well as careful and rigorous intraoperative checking of the effectiveness of the repair.
It is recommended to consult a physician promptly for obvious signs and symptoms of abnormal valve structure and function, improve cardiac ultrasound and other auxiliary examinations, and then choose the appropriate treatment according to the specific situation.
