Valve Replacement Surgery at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital

What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

Valve replacement surgery is a cardiac procedure used to replace a damaged or diseased heart valve. Heart valves regulate blood flow through the heart, and when they do not function properly, it can lead to serious complications such as heart failure.

At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, this surgery is recommended for conditions like valve stenosis (narrowing) or valve regurgitation (leakage), ensuring proper blood circulation and improved heart function.

How the Treatment Is Performed

Open-heart surgery where the damaged valve is replaced with a mechanical or biological valve.
Minimally invasive or catheter-based procedures (like TAVR) in selected patients.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia with advanced monitoring.

The procedure typically takes a few hours, followed by ICU monitoring and gradual recovery.
