11/18/2014 If you are having a damaged valve in your heart then you can get it replaced with a valve taken from cow, pig or human donors. You can also replace the damaged heart valve with a mechanical valve. If you are choosing India as a destination for this surgery then you can discover the unique advantages of valve replacement surgery here. The cost of valve replacement surgery and treatment in India is very affordable as compared to its cost seen in developed western nations like USA, Canada and the UK.

Heart valve replacement surgery is used to repair or replace the diseased heart valves. Blood flowing in the different chambers of your heart should flow through a heart valve. The blood flowing out of your heart into large arteries should also flow through a heart valve. These heart valves open enough so that blood can flow through. When these valves close the flow of blood takes place in the backward direction. The human heart consists of four valves they are the aortic valve, the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve and the pulmonic valve. The aortic valve is a common cardiac valve that cannot be repaired thus it has to be replaced. The mitral valve is also a common valve that can be repaired. On the other hand the tricuspid valve and the pulmonic valve can neither be repaired nor replaced.

Before your valve replacement surgery you will be provided with general anesthesia. You will feel asleep and thus won’t experience any kind of pain. In an open heart valve surgery the surgeon makes a large surgical cut in the breastbone to reach the aorta and the heart. Your body will be connected to a bypass pump or a heart lung bypass machine. Your heart is stopped while being connected to this device. This cardiac device does the work of your heart, thus providing oxygen to your heart and removing the carbon dioxide content from it.

Minimally invasive valve surgery is done through much smaller cuts than open heart surgery. This surgery is also done through a catheter that is inserted through the skin. You will have to stop taking medications and doing smoking one week before the surgery.
