Our Heart Valve Replacement Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Heart Valve Replacement, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Surgery for acquired valvular heart disease

This procedure addresses issues in heart valves caused by disease, damage, or degeneration, restoring proper blood flow and heart function.

Pros: Offers a permanent solution for severe valve disease. High success rate with 95% improvement in symptoms post-surgery.

Cons: Involves open heart surgery, leading to longer recovery times. Risk of complications like bleeding or infection in 10% of patients.

Effectiveness: 90% success rate in restoring normal heart function.

Duration: 3-6 hours.

Recovery: 6-12 weeks.

Best for: Severe valve stenosis or regurgitation affecting aortic or mitral valves.

Plastic surgery for cardiac valve

Pros: Offers a less invasive approach compared to open heart surgery with a quicker recovery time. Success rates of over 85% make it a reliable option for many patients.

Cons: May not be suitable for severely damaged valves where replacement is necessary. Requires specialized equipment and expertise, limiting availability in some areas.

Duration: 2 to 4 hours.
