Heart Valve Replacement
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is Heart Valve Replacement?
Heart Valve Replacement is a surgical procedure used to replace a damaged or diseased heart valve with an artificial or biological valve. It is commonly performed in patients with conditions like Heart Valve Disease, where the valve does not open or close properly.
The procedure restores normal blood flow through the heart, improves cardiac function, and prevents complications such as heart failure.
Why is Heart Valve Replacement Done?
Heart valve replacement is recommended when the valve damage is severe and cannot be repaired. It is done to:
- Treat valve stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage)
- Relieve symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, and chest pain
- Prevent complications such as heart failure, stroke, or arrhythmias
- Improve overall quality of life and survival
Early intervention can significantly enhance long-term outcomes.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Heart Valve Replacement in India?
Patients who may be eligible include:
- Individuals with severe valve disease diagnosed via imaging
- Patients experiencing symptoms affecting daily life
- Those with reduced heart function due to valve problems
- Patients not responding to medication or valve repair procedures
- Individuals medically fit for surgery after evaluation
In India, cardiologists assess each patient thoroughly to determine the best treatment approach.
Types of Heart Valve Replacement
There are different types based on the valve used and surgical approach:
1. Mechanical Valve Replacement
- Uses durable artificial valves
- Long-lasting (may last a lifetime)
- Requires lifelong blood-thinning medication
2. Biological (Tissue) Valve Replacement
- Made from animal or human tissue
- Lower risk of blood clots
- May need replacement after 10–15 years
3. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR/TAVI)
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Suitable for high-risk or elderly patients
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
Diagnostic Tests Done Before Pulmonary Stenosis Treatment
A detailed evaluation is performed before treatment:
- Echocardiography (2D Echo / Doppler study)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Chest X-ray
- Cardiac MRI or CT scan
- Cardiac catheterization (in select cases)
- Blood tests and oxygen level assessment
These tests help determine the severity and guide treatment planning.
