Heart Valve Surgery & Treatment in Pune, India

Heart valve diseases occur when one or more of the heart’s valves don’t function properly, affecting how blood flows through the heart and to the rest of the body. These conditions can develop due to aging, infections, congenital defects, or other cardiac disorders.

Common types of valve conditions include:

• Stenosis: Narrowing of the valve, restricting blood flow.
• Regurgitation: Leaking of blood backward due to improper valve closure.
• Prolapse: Improper closure or bulging of the valve flaps.

Maintaining healthy heart valves is essential to ensure that the heart pumps blood efficiently, supporting overall health.

What is Heart Valve Disease?

• Heart valve disease refers to any abnormality or dysfunction in one or more of the heart’s four valves: aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary. Each valve plays a crucial role in directing blood flow through the heart and ensuring it moves in the right direction.
• When a valve becomes damaged, the heart has to work harder, which can lead to serious health complications if not treated promptly.

When is Heart Valve Surgery Recommended?

Heart valve surgery may be recommended if:

• Symptoms are severe (e.g., breathlessness, chest pain, dizziness)
• There’s evidence of reduced heart function
• Complications such as heart failure or arrhythmias develop

• Risk factors include:
• Age-related degeneration
• Congenital heart conditions
• Rheumatic fever or infections (endocarditis)
• Family history of valve disease

• Surgical options:
• Valve repair: Preferred when possible, especially for the mitral valve.
• Valve replacement: Recommended when repair isn’t feasible.

Heart Valve Surgery: The Procedure

Heart valve surgery involves either repairing the existing valve or replacing it with a mechanical or biological prosthetic valve.

Surgical Options:

• Open-heart surgery: Traditional method using a heart-lung machine.
• Minimally invasive surgery: Smaller incisions, faster recovery.
• TAVI/TAVR (for Aortic Valve): Catheter-based, no need for open-heart surgery—ideal for high-risk patients.

At Aditya Birla Hospital, advanced imaging and surgical technologies are used to ensure precision and safety

Types of Heart Valve Surgery

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR)

• Used to treat aortic stenosis or regurgitation. Replacement can be:
• Surgical AVR (SAVR): Open surgery
• TAVI/TAVR: A less invasive alternative for select patients
• Mitral Valve Repair/Replacement

• Recommended for:
• Mitral valve prolapse or regurgitation
• Rheumatic disease
• Repair is often preferred over replacement for better long-term outcomes.
• Tricuspid and Pulmonary Valve Surgery

What Are the Risks and Complications?

• While heart valve surgeries are generally safe, some potential risks include:
• Infection
• Blood clots
• Valve dysfunction or rejection (in case of replacement)

• Aditya Birla Hospital minimizes these risks through:
• Use of advanced technologies
• Strict infection control protocols
• Round-the-clock monitoring and intensive care

Heart Valve Surgery Recovery

• Recovery Timeline:
• Hospital stay: Usually 5–10 days
• Cardiac rehabilitation: Helps improve strength and heart health
• Total recovery: 6 to 12 weeks depending on the type of surgery

• What to Expect:
• Temporary use of medications (e.g., blood thinners)
• Lifestyle adjustments (healthy diet, controlled activity)

Follow-up checkups to monitor valve function
