Heart Valve
Your heart includes four valves that allow blood to flow in and out. If a valve is damaged or diseased, you might need surgery to repair it.
Our OHSU Heart & Vascular surgeons perform a large number of heart valve replacements and repairs. As a patient, you should know that choosing a doctor who does many of the type of surgery you have increases your chances of a successful outcome. At OHSU, we use advanced repair techniques, such as the Ross procedure, which replaces a diseased aortic valve with your own pulmonary (lung) valve. We preserve your own heart valve tissue whenever possible.
