Artificial heart valve

Today we removed an artificial heart valve from a patient due to an infection. An artificial heart valve is a device implanted in the heart of a patient with valvular heart disease. When one of the four heart valves malfunctions, the medical choice may be to replace the natural valve with an artificial valve. Valves are integral to the normal physiological functioning of the human heart.
