At University Hospital, Heart Double Valve Replacement is performed using advanced cardiac surgery techniques, heart-lung support systems, and personalized treatment planning. Established in 1842, this SAC accredited hospital in Basel, Switzerland has 773 beds and offers comprehensive cardiovascular services.

Heart Double Valve Replacement may be considered for patients with significant disease affecting two heart valves and symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, or reduced exercise tolerance. During the operation, both damaged valves are removed or prepared and replaced with suitable prosthetic valves. The choice between mechanical and tissue valves depends on several factors, including age, bleeding risk, ability to take long-term anticoagulants, and patient preference. Echocardiography and other cardiac investigations help assess valve function and heart performance before surgery.
