👉 Valvotomy is a surgical procedure in which an artificial valve or prosthetic device is placed between two valves that are damaged or diseased. This allows for a more efficient and effective flow of blood through the body, improving circulation and reducing the risk of complications from heart disease. In general, valvotomy is used to treat conditions such as mitral regurgitation, which can cause severe chest pain and fatigue, and aortic stenosis, which can lead to fluid buildup in the lungs
