The heart is made up of tissues and muscles that pump blood. It is divided into a right and left side and has four chambers: 2 lower chambers called ventricles and 2 upper chambers called atria.
Absolutely, many leading hospitals in India are at the forefront of cardiovascular care, utilising cutting-edge technology to replace both valves. They employ techniques like robotic-assisted surgery, 3D echocardiography, minimally invasive procedures, and hybrid operating rooms. Most reputable centres also achieve international accreditation from organisations such as ISO and JCI (Joint Commission International).
Yes, Indian cardiothoracic surgeons are highly trained in performing complex heart valve surgeries, including simultaneous replacements of the aortic and mitral valves. They often treat patients from various countries, and many have received training in Germany or other European countries. Depending on the patient's needs, they use both mechanical and bioprosthetic valves, all while following the internationally recognised guidelines set by the ESC and ACC/AHA.
Double valve replacement is typically recommended for patients experiencing severe issues with both the aortic and mitral valves, such as stenosis, regurgitation, or congenital defects. Some common symptoms to watch out for include:
Replacing both valves can significantly improve heart health and its overall function. Biological valves may need to be replaced after 10 to 20 years, but they generally don’t require long-term blood thinners. In contrast, mechanical valves can last a lifetime, but they need you to take anticoagulants for the rest of your life. To ensure long-term success, it’s essential to make some lifestyle adjustments and stick to routine follow-ups.
Yes, India is home to some top-notch cardiac procedures that are not only of high quality but also more affordable compared to many other countries. Specialised cardiac centres provide a full range of services, including diagnostics, surgery, intensive care unit recovery, and rehabilitation. Many facilities even offer well-organised medical travel packages, making it easier for international patients to receive care.
Yes, India stands out as a prime destination for double valve replacement and other advanced heart surgeries. Well-respected medical centres offer comprehensive care, which encompasses everything from cardiac rehabilitation and ICU monitoring to surgery and preoperative assessments.
Yes. You can schedule an online consultation with the cardiovascular surgeon before travelling. Leading hospitals offer telemedicine options and second opinion services. To access patient reviews:
Indian cardiac surgeons usually undergo extensive training and education. They first graduate from an accredited Indian medical university with a six-year medical degree (MD). They then complete a five-year general surgery residency and a two- to three-year fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery subspecialty. With an emphasis on cutting-edge cardiac procedures, such as valve repair, coronary bypass, and aortic surgery, many surgeons further their skills through international fellowships in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, or Japan.
Verifying their registration with the Indian Association for Thoracic Surgery, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), or the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (EACTS), and are frequently certified by the Indian Board of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Looking into their hospital affiliation, ideally with JCI-accredited facilities. Requesting their professional resume from the International Office. Searching for memberships in organisations like STS, EACTS, or ESC. Reviewing their professional history and evaluations on hospital websites or LinkedIn.
Recovering from a double valve replacement in India typically means spending about 10 to 14 days in the hospital, which includes a few days in the ICU. The entire recovery process generally lasts around 8 to 12 weeks, during which patients participate in cardiac rehabilitation, manage their medications, and make lifestyle adjustments. Additionally, international hospitals provide follow-up care and support to help ensure a seamless healing journey.
