Heart Valve Replacement
Heart valve replacement surgery is a procedure performed to replace a damaged or diseased heart valve with a healthy, artificial one. This surgery is typically required when a valve no longer functions properly due to conditions like valve stenosis or regurgitation. The surgery can be done via Open-heart Surgery, where the chest is opened to access the heart, or Minimally Invasive Surgery, where smaller incisions are made. There are two main types of artificial valves – Mechanical Valves, made of durable materials, and Biological Valves, made from animal tissue.
Aortic Valve Replacement (Metallic Valve)- This involves the traditional surgery to replace the faulty aortic valve with a synthetic metallic valve.
Aortic Valve Replacement (Tissue Valve)- This involves the traditional surgery to replace the faulty aortic valve with a tissue or bovine valve.
Mitral Valve Replacement (Metallic Valve)- This involves the traditional surgery to replace the faulty mitral valve with a synthetic metallic valve.
Mitral Valve Replacement (Tissue Valve)- This involves the traditional surgery to replace the faulty mitral valve with a tissue or bovine valve.
Double Valve Replacement (Metallic Valve)- This involves the traditional surgery to replace the faulty mitral and aortic valve with synthetic or metallic valve.
Double Valve Replacement (Tissue Valve)- This involves the traditional surgery to replace the faulty mitral and aortic valve with a tissue or bovine valve.
Transcather Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVI)- This is a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure to replace diseased or faulty aortic valve.
Pulmonary Valve Repair / Replacement- This involves the surgery to repair or replace pulmonary valve.
Tricuspid Valve Repair / Replacement- This involves the surgery to repair or replace the tricuspid valve.
Heart valve replacement surgery is often recommended when diagnostic exams such as echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac MRI, or angiography indicate that the heart valve is no longer functioning effectively, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or chest pain.
