If a heart valve is diseased or damaged, it can be surgically removed and replaced with a mechanical valve, which is made of plastic and metal. The leaflets of a mechanical valve open and close to keep blood flowing through your heart. During a mechanical valve replacement, a surgeon will remove the diseased or damaged valve and choose the right-sized mechanical valve to replace it. The mechanical valve is sutured to the annulus (a strong tissue that helps maintain the shape of the heart valve), using the sewing ring (cloth rim) of the mechanical valve. The team of world-leading experts at CHOP’s Pediatric Heart Valve Center uses cutting-edge imaging to view each patient’s heart before surgery and develop a highly personalized surgical plan based on a child’s unique anatomy.
