Heart valve replacement surgery

Hello Doctor. My friend's mother had two heart valve replacement surgeries. Post surgery, they again found a leak in valve recently. Doctors told that they cannot perform a surgery now as her body cannot resist. Can you please suggest if we have any other method in this situation. I would be very very very thankful for any of your help.
