Heart valve replacement is the optimal measure in cases of severe damage to the heart valves, in order to reduce symptoms, prevent the progression of heart failure and reduce the risk of early death for the patient. Patients may face some complications after heart valve replacement surgery, however, these are completely manageable.
Heart valve repair and replacement surgery is a highly accurate surgery and the majority of patients have a marked improvement after surgery. However, there is still a small chance of complications such as valve dysfunction after surgery, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism or stroke.
Anesthesia for patients undergoing percutaneous aortic valve replacement is a complex anesthetic method but has opened up hope for patients with high-risk aortic valve stenosis who cannot undergo conventional surgery.
Open heart valve repair surgery is a type of surgery to repair faulty heart valves, which is applied to correct defective heart valves due to stenosis, blockage or reflux, leakage.
After heart valve surgery, whether open or laparoscopic, patients need to be cared for carefully. Care after heart valve replacement surgery requires care of the incision, gentle exercise for quick recovery, regular check-ups and proper nutrition.
Heart valves are important organs in the heart that help blood flow smoothly. Due to the continuous work, the heart valve is very susceptible to diseases, damage and no longer guaranteed to do its job well. At this point, the request to repair the heart valve or replace the heart valve will be made.
