Valve replacement surgery in India is most often used to treat aortic valves and severely damaged mitral valves. It is also used to treat any valve disease that is life-threatening. Severe valve damage means that the valve will need to be replaced. Sometimes, more than one valve may be damaged in the heart, so patients may need more than one repair or replacement. Valve replacement surgery in India will take about three hours. Your surgeon will make a cut, about 25cm (10 inches) long, down the middle of your breastbone (sternum) and will open your ribcage to reach your heart. Medication is used to temporarily stop your heart. Your blood will be diverted to a heart-lung (bypass) machine. This will add oxygen to your blood and maintain your circulation. Your surgeon will remove your diseased valve and sew in a prosthetic (artificial) valve. There are two types of valve, mechanical valve are artificial valve made from carbon fibre, they can last for a lifetime and biological valves are made from human or animal tissue, they wear out faster than mechanical valves so the surgery may need to be repeated every eight to 10 years. Your surgeon will advise you which type of valve is appropriate for you. After your valve has been replaced, your surgeon will restart your heart and blood will be allowed to flow back through your heart. Your sternum will be rejoined using wires and the skin on your chest will be closed with dissolvable stitches.
