This is a person who does the heart surgeries (such as people who do surgery after heart attacks)
A valvectomy is a surgery that removes a valve from the body, typically a heart valve. If the heart is diseased, or not functioning properly, the valve can be removed to help restore better function.
people with abnormal heart valves have a high risk of developing heart valve infections after even minor surgery.

The term "open heart surgery" is really used incorrectly. We use it to mean a surgery where the chest is cut open to get the heart. A "bypass surgery" is where they cut open your chest and reroute the large blood vessels (arteries) on the outside of the heart. We do wrongfully call Bypass Surgery a type of Open Heart Surgery. But I would call a real "open heart surgery" where they cut open the chest and then cut open the heart to work inside the heart, like replace valves.
If removed from the body, the heart will cease to function unless it is kept perfused, i.e. unless blood is continually pumped through it by mechanical means. In some open heart surgery, surgeons must stop the heart and re-start it by electrical cardio-conversion. The heart doesn't "keep time" like a clock. In fact, when the heart stops or deliberately is stopped during open heart surgery, it's not uncommon to see a very irregular heart beat pattern when the heart is first re-started (example, a "run" of bradycardia, slow heart rate, or a run of tachycardia, a fast heart rate).
