Piyavate Hospital, a renowned private hospital with over 29 years of experience, offers exceptional medical services at an international level. Accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the hospital upholds the highest standards of quality and care. Aortic valve repair (AVR) and aortic valve replacement (MVR) procedures can be performed through both traditional open-heart surgery and minimally invasive methods.

Traditional open-heart surgery involves a chest incision, while minimally invasive approaches utilize smaller chest incisions or a catheter inserted in the leg or chest (transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR). Minimally invasive surgery offers the advantages of smaller incisions and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional procedures. For balloon valvuloplasty, a thin catheter is inserted through a blood vessel, typically in the groin, and guided to the heart. Inflation of the balloon on the catheter widens the narrowed valve, improving blood flow. Piyavate Hospital boasts a team of distinguished cardiovascular specialists, including Dr. Wisit Chanprasertpinyo and Khunying Mallika Wankrairoj, who are dedicated to providing exceptional care to patients.
