Frequently Asked Questions

Do Indian hospitals use advanced cardiovascular treatment technology for AVR and MVR?

Absolutely, many Indian hospitals are equipped with cutting-edge cardiovascular technology for AVR and MVR procedures. This includes advanced robotic-assisted surgeries, real-time 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and transcatheter options like TAVI/TMVR. They also utilise minimally invasive valve replacement methods and have hybrid operating rooms. Plus, these hospitals often achieve international standards, such as JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation.

Do Indian doctors have experience with aortic valve replacement (AVR) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) procedures?

Yes, Indian cardiothoracic surgeons undergo rigorous training in both open and minimally invasive aortic and mitral valve replacement procedures, including complex cases and redo surgeries. Many of them also gain experience overseas, particularly in the United States and Europe, and follow the guidelines set by the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association. You can find many leading experts working at top-notch facilities.

What are the symptoms that may lead to needing AVR or MVR?

Patients dealing with severe valve disease and showing symptoms like these might need to consider valve replacement.

  • Breathlessness (dyspnea)
  • Angina (chest discomfort)
  • Fatigue and lightheadedness
  • Swelling in the legs (edema)
  • Irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation
  • Signs of heart failure
Can AVR or MVR cure my heart condition?

Replacing the valve can lead to significant improvements in symptoms and heart function. When performed by experienced teams and followed up with proper care, this procedure can boost survival rates and enhance quality of life. It can also help restore normal blood flow and prevent complications, even if it doesn't completely "cure" patients with severe heart disease.

Is AVR or MVR treatment available in India?

India stands out as a centre for advanced cardiac surgeries, such as mechanical and biological valve replacements, TAVI, and redo valve operations. The hospitals there provide comprehensive cardiac care, staffed by highly skilled teams, all at competitive prices. This makes India an attractive option for international patients seeking both quality and value.

Can I consult the cardiac surgeon online before I travel, and how can I access their patient reviews?

Yes, you can connect with a cardiac surgeon online through MediGence before making your trip to India. They provide virtual consultations and second opinion services with leading cardiovascular experts from JCI-accredited hospitals. Scheduling an online appointment is a breeze on the MediGence platform. Additionally, if you'd like to review patient testimonials, simply visit the surgeon’s profile on MediGence. There, you’ll find verified testimonials, success stories, ratings, and all the details about their experience and qualifications.

How do I check the credibility of a cardiovascular surgeon in India?

Check a cardiovascular surgeon's credentials, years of experience, and speciality on the hospital's official website to determine their credibility in India. Ensure they have completed fellowships or advanced training, ideally in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Germany. Verify membership in international organisations like EACTS or STS, or reputable professional associations like the Indian Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery. Seek affiliations with hospitals that have earned JCI accreditation, as this signifies a commitment to international quality standards.

What is the recovery time for AVR/MVR procedures in India?

In India, after undergoing AVR/MVR surgeries, patients usually spend about 7 to 10 days in the hospital. This includes a stay of 2 to 3 days in the intensive care unit. The whole recovery process can take anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks, depending on whether the surgery was open or minimally invasive. During this time, patients participate in cardiac rehabilitation, adhere to their medication regimen (especially if they have a mechanical valve), and gradually return to their normal activities, all while being closely monitored by their healthcare team.
