Additional information
MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT WITH BIOLOGICAL PROSTHETIC VALVE
Hospitalization: 7 nights
ICU Stay: 2 nights
Procedure Description:
Mitral valve replacement is a surgical procedure performed to replace a diseased or severely damaged mitral valve that cannot be adequately repaired. Depending on the patient's clinical condition, anatomy, and surgical assessment, the procedure may be performed through conventional open-heart surgery or a minimally invasive surgical approach.
During the procedure, the diseased mitral valve is removed and replaced with a biological prosthetic valve, typically made from specially treated animal tissue.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. When required, cardiopulmonary bypass is used to support heart and circulation during the operation. Following surgery, the patient is closely monitored in the Intensive Care Unit before being transferred to the cardiovascular surgery ward for continued recovery and observation.
Package Includes:
Preoperative cardiology and cardiovascular surgery evaluation
Required preoperative laboratory and diagnostic tests
Mitral valve replacement with a biological prosthetic valve
Conventional open-heart or minimally invasive surgical approach, as clinically appropriate
Biological prosthetic heart valve
General anesthesia
Postoperative monitoring and medical treatment
Routine postoperative laboratory and imaging examinations
Cardiovascular surgery follow-up during hospitalization
The surgical approach and final treatment plan are determined by the cardiovascular surgery team based on the patient's medical records, diagnostic findings, anatomy, and overall clinical condition.

How are we doing?
About the clinic
Mitral valve replacement at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, provides patients with advanced surgical options for heart health. The hospital offers both traditional open-heart surgery and minimally invasive robotic procedures. This JCI-accredited facility specializes in heart care, combining international safety standards with senior medical leadership.
Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery
Surgeons at Hisar Hospital use the da Vinci robotic system for mitral valve replacement. This method allows the doctor to work through small 2-3 cm incisions. The surgeon controls the robot from a console, which provides high precision during the procedure. This approach avoids fully opening the breastbone, which helps reduce the risk of infection. Patients often experience a faster recovery time compared to traditional methods. Before surgery, patients undergo a detailed evaluation with imaging to see if they qualify for the robotic approach.
Advanced Cardiovascular Care
The Cardiovascular Surgery Department is led by Prof. Dr. Ali Fedakar. As the department head, Prof. Dr. Ali Fedakar oversees both robotic and conventional surgical programs. The hospital operates an Integrated Heart Center to manage complex cardiac cases. If a patient is not a candidate for robotic surgery, the team performs open-heart valve replacement using modern techniques. This flexibility allows the medical team to choose the safest method for each individual case.
Services for International Patients
Hisar Hospital provides several support services to help international patients during their stay. The facility offers the following amenities:
- Standard hospital room accommodation included in the cost of surgery.
- Free interpreters available in over 15 languages.
- Airport transfers to assist with travel to and from the hospital.
