Hello,I have gone through your question.First of all I need to know exact details of valvular problem.Which valve is affected? whether it is narrowed or leaking? what is severity of lesion?
If the severity is mild then she can be managed with medicines for years togather and she may not need surgery at all.But in moderate or severe degree of lesion she may need surgery.I understand your concern about finance.Sri satya sai heart institute at puttaparthi,Banglore and Rajkot(Guj) offer free of cost surgery.
I wish her all the very best.You may contact me for further guidance.
