Regurgitation/Insufficiency (leaky valve) - the valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward as well as forward in the heart. The valves in your heart may be damaged due to infection, rheumatic heart disease, wear and tear, tissue weakening or deterioration, or birth (congenital) defects.egurgitation/Insufficiency (leaky valve) - the valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward as well as forward in the heart.

Heart valve repair: To repair a damaged valve, your surgeon can reshape or remove parts of the valve to make it function better. For example, if the valve fails to close tightly (called valve insufficiency), your surgeon may remove extra tissue or strengthen parts of the valve by sewing a ring around the valve opening.
