A double valve replacement is the replacement of the mitral as well as the aortic valve. This type of procedure is not so common and is suggested for complicated cases of valvular diseases. Biologic and mechanical valves are used for replacing problematic valves. Mechanical valves are artificially made and have the same function as a natural valve. They are made from carbon and polyester materials and can last 10 to 20 years. However, a common risk associated with mechanical valves is blood clots. If an individual receives a mechanical heart valve, they will have to take blood thinners to reduce the risk of stroke. Heart valve replacement surgery is carried out under general anaesthesia using techniques, which are conventional or minimally invasive. The patient remains in hospital for 5-7 days. The patient is released earlier if the surgery is minimally invasive.
