At University Hospital, patients can access Cardiac Valve Replacement supported by advanced cardiac surgery facilities and experienced cardiology and cardiac surgery teams. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is located in Basel, Switzerland, and has 773 beds.

Valve replacement may be required when a heart valve becomes significantly narrowed or fails to close properly. The damaged valve is replaced with a mechanical or tissue-based prosthetic valve to restore effective blood flow. Depending on the valve and patient's clinical condition, surgical replacement or a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure may be considered.
