Why is India-The Ultimate Destination for
Cardiac Valve Replacement Surgery?

• 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 patients 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

If one or more of these valves does not work
properly, it may need to be surgically repaired
or replaced with an artificial valve.

What is Heart Valve Repair or Replacement Surgery
Heart Valve Repair 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.

Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery

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.


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.

Heart Valve Repair Surgery

• 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.

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.

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.

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.
