Surgical repair of a valve is normally just referred to as Heart Valve Surgey, although its technical name is valvoplasty or valvuloplasty. There are many ways to repair a heart valve. They can go in through the groin and blow the valve up with a balloon, or repair a torn part of the valve. They can also do open heart surgery and replace a valve completely (usually with a pig valve or a metal valve).
