Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh Cardiac Valve Replacement Package

If the Aortic and Mitral valves are damaged or diseased and are not functioning properly, they may need to be repaired or replaced. Heart valve malfunction can be caused by two conditions: valve stenosis (stiffness) and valve regurgitation (leaky valve). Traditionally, open-heart surgery has been used to repair or replace heart valves. This includes making a large incision in the chest and stopping the heart for a period of time so that the surgeon may repair or replace the valves, which obviously carries a lot of difficulties and implications. These worries, on the other hand, are only temporary and unusual, and your treating doctor can quickly cure or control them. The following are some of the possible consequences of heart valve repair or replacement surgery:

• Bleeding during or after the surgery
• Blood clots that can cause heart attack, stroke, or lung problems
• Infection
• Pneumonia
• Pancreatitis
• Breathing problems
• Arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
• The repaired or replaced valve doesn't work correctly
• Death

Other problems may exist, depending on your medical condition. Before the procedure, make sure to share any concerns you have with your healthcare provide

You will be transferred to a recovery room after surgery and then to the intensive care unit (ICU), where you will be intensively monitored for many days. A nurse will monitor your electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing, blood pressure, other pressure readings, breathing rate, and oxygen level at all times. In most situations, open-heart valve repair or replacement surgery entails a stay in the hospital for several days or more.

Most people take between 4 and 8 weeks to recover from heart valve surgery. You might be able to heal even faster if you had less invasive surgery. After 4-6 weeks, patients who have had heart valve repair or replacement surgery are usually able to travel (longer if they have had pulmonary complications)

You'll be given specific instructions for exercise, medications, wound care, and resuming normal activities before you leave the hospital.

• You'll also be advised to enrol in a cardiac rehabilitation programme, which is a dedicated programme that assists you in healing, recovering, and returning to your normal routine.
• You'll require pain medication after valve surgery since you'll have wound and muscle pain for a few weeks.
• Medications are most effective when you are healthy in all aspects of your life, such as exercising, stopping smoking, and eating a balanced diet.
