2. Cardiac Valve Replacement Surgery
In patients presenting with severe valve damage, it becomes
necessary to replace the valves. This procedure is performed when
aortic valves and mitral valves are severely damaged. Severe valve
damage produce threat to patient’s life. In some cases, there are
more than one damaged valves that require multiple valve repair
and replacement.
The heart has four valves that control the flow of blood through
the heart:
The mitral valve
The aortic valve
The tricuspid valve
The pulmonary valve
Why is India-The Ultimate Destination for
Cardiac Valve Replacement Surgery?
If one or more of these valves does not work properly, it may need to be surgically repaired or
replaced with an artificial valve.

3. What is Heart Valve Repair or Replacement Surgery
Heart valve specialists and surgeons agree that whenever
possible a heart valve should be repaired rather than
replaced. Heart valve repair leaves you with your
normally functioning tissue, which resists infection more
effectively, and you don't need to take blood-thinning
medications after the surgery.
If you have mild to moderate heart valve disease, your surgeon often performs heart
valve repair. If your heart valve isn't closing properly (regurgitation), your surgeon
may treat your condition using one of three surgeries.

4. Minimal incision valve surgery does not require a large
incision or cutting through the entire breastbone. The
surgeon gains access to the heart through one to three
smaller, less visible incisions (sometimes called “ports”)
that can be made between the ribs or a smaller
breastbone incision, as well as one small incision in the
groin.
Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery
The diseased valve can be repaired or replaced through one or more of the ports
between the ribs, with the surgeon looking at the heart directly through the
incision or through a small tube-shaped camera.

6. •Annuloplasty. In this procedure, your surgeon tightens the ring of tissue around
the valve to help the valve flaps (leaflets) come together. Sometimes your surgeon
will implant a ring where the leaflets meet to make the valve opening smaller so the
leaflets can come together.
•Repair of structural support. In this procedure, your surgeon replaces or
shortens the cords that support the valves (chordae tendineae and papillary
muscles) to repair the structural support. When the cords and muscles are the right
length, the valve leaflet edges meet and eliminate the leak.
•Valve leaflet repair. In valve leaflet repair, your surgeon surgically separates,
cuts or pleats a valve flap (leaflet) to repair a floppy or prolapsed valve leaflet.

7. Two kinds of valves are used in Valve Replacement:
●
Mechanical Valves: These valves are made up of artificial materials such as
metal, plastic or carbon. Mechanical valves are strong and last for a long time.
Blood tends to stick to mechanical valves creating blood clots. Hence, patients
need anticoagulant medicines lifelong to avoid blood clotting.
●
Biological Valves: These valves are made from animal tissues called xenograft
or taken from human tissues of a donated heart termed as allograft or homograft.
A patient's own tissue can be used for valve replacement termed as autograft.
There is no blood clotting problem with biological valves and patients do not need
to take anti-coagulants. These valves are not strong like mechanical valves and
may need to be replaced at every 10 years. In children and adults, these valves
break down in short term. Usually biological valves are used in elderly patients.

8. Heart Valve Replacement Surgery
If your heart valve can't be repaired, your surgeon will remove your damaged valve and
replace it with an artificial (prosthetic) valve You may need heart valve replacement if you
have valve narrowing (stenosis) or severely damaged valves affected by calcium buildup in the
valves (calcification) or rheumatic disease. Surgeons perform procedures often to replace
mitral or aortic valves, but your surgeon can replace any heart valve.
Heart Valve Replacements include:
Mechanical valve- It is made totally of mechanical parts that are tolerated well by
the body. The bi-leaflet valve is used most often. It consists of two carbon leaflets in
a ring covered with polyester knit fabric.
Biological valve- Tissue valves (also called biologic or bioprosthetic valves) are
made of human or animal tissue. Animal tissue heart valves may come from pig
tissue (porcine) or cow tissue (bovine). Tissue valves may have some artificial parts
to help give the valve support and to aid placement.
Homograft valve (also called allograft)- It is an aortic or pulmonic human
valve that has been removed from a donated human heart, preserved, and frozen
under sterile conditions. A homograft may be used to replace a diseased aortic or
pulmonic valve.

9. How it Works
●
Initially you need to provide us with the patient details
through email, including name, age, sex, medical history,
laboratory investigations and images of any scans (CT,
MRIs, X Rays etc.).
●
We will forward these details to various hospitals and get
their replies on three parameters i.e. Patient
management plan, estimated cost of treatment and
duration of stay in India.
●
We will send back these details to you and you can
choose the doctor and hospital according to their replies.
