These valves are - mitral valve, tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, and aortic valve. These valves generally open and close once during each heartbeat ensuring proper blood flow. When these valves do not open or close properly, they disrupt the blood flow from the heart to the body. In this type of surgery, the surgeon either repairs or replaces the affected valve to restore normal functioning. Generally, an open heart valve repair surgery is conducted.
