What is Heart Valve Replacement?
Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure to remove a damaged or diseased heart valve and replace it with a mechanical or biological (tissue) valve. It is performed to treat conditions like valve stenosis or regurgitation that impair normal blood flow and can lead to heart failure if untreated. India offers world-class cardiac surgical teams and advanced hybrid cath labs at a fraction of Western costs.
Who may be considered?
Heart Valve Replacement may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Traditional surgery performed through a full sternotomy using cardiopulmonary bypass, allowing direct access to replace one or more heart valves.
Open-Heart Valve Replacement (Sternotomy)
Most CommonTraditional surgery performed through a full sternotomy using cardiopulmonary bypass, allowing direct access to replace one or more heart valves.
Comprehensive Investigations
ECG, 2D Echocardiogram, Chest X-ray, CT Angiography (coronary), Blood tests (CBC, coagulation profile, renal & liver function), Cardiac catheterization if needed
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Stay in India
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Surgeon and anesthetist fees
- ICU and ward stay
- Valve prosthesis (standard mechanical/biological)
- Cardiopulmonary bypass and OT charges
- Routine post-op medications and nursing care
Usually Not Included
- Premium/branded valve upgrade
- Airfare and visa costs
- Extended ICU stay due to complications
- Post-discharge cardiac rehabilitation program
- Long-term anticoagulation monitoring after return home
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients resume light activity within 4-6 weeks after open surgery and require lifelong follow-up including periodic echocardiograms; TAVI patients typically recover much faster, often within 1-2 weeks. Anticoagulation therapy and cardiac rehabilitation are commonly advised depending on valve type.
Risks
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, arrhythmia, stroke, valve malfunction, and reactions to anesthesia; mechanical valves require lifelong blood thinners while biological valves may wear out over time and need replacement.
Alternatives
Depending on severity, alternatives may include valve repair surgery, balloon valvuloplasty, or continued medical management with medications, though these are generally less durable solutions for severe valve disease.
