👉 In medicine, a valveotomy is an surgical procedure used to open or close valves in the body. This can be done to treat various conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and other medical procedures. It's similar to a bypass surgery but instead of opening blood vessels, it opens valves. The goal of valvulotomy is to prevent heart attacks by allowing more blood flow into the heart. Valvulotomy is performed in hospitals or clinics under general anesthesia.
