Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with CC
AI EXPLANATION: Heart valve replacement surgery is an inpatient operation to repair or replace one or more diseased or damaged heart valves. During the procedure, a cardiothoracic surgeon removes the faulty valve and implants an artificial mechanical valve or biological tissue valve to ensure blood flows properly through the heart chambers and out to the rest of the body.
