24X7 Emergency Helpline: 07340054470Valvular surgery is an open-heart surgical procedure initiated to repair or replace a damaged heart valve. When there are heart function conditions like regurgitation or stenosis of the valves then valvular surgery is advised to the patient. The surgeon performs the procedure by valve repairing which comprises reshaping or strengthening the existing valve tissue. They also include the utilization of a biological or mechanical replacement for the valve.
In certain healthcare services, surgery for heart valve conditions is initiated with less invasive methods these days at a fast rate. To perform valvular surgery, cardiac catheterization, and imaging are preoperative evaluations before performing valvular surgery. Patients are closely monitored for issues such as blood clots or infections after the surgery. Valve surgery aims to enhance patients' quality of life, relieve symptoms, and restore heart function.

The following is the categorization of the types of valvular surgery:
When cardiac valve disease advances to a stage when symptoms worsen and significantly impair an individual’s quality of life, valvular surgery becomes an option. When traditional methods are no longer able to manage the symptoms or when the probability of consequences is very high, valvular surgery is advised. Severe valve regurgitation or stenosis, causing symptoms like exhaustion, chest pain, and shortness of breath, are some noticeable signs. In addition, individuals who have structural heart valve anomalies or run the risk of developing issues including heart failure or potentially fatal arrhythmias may benefit from valvular surgery.
An extensive assessment is initiated before valvular surgery to identify the severity of the patient's valve problem including their general state of health. Various diagnostic procedures such as cardiac catheterization, electrocardiography, and echocardiography are often performed before performing valvular surgery. An assessment of the patient's medical history is performed, comprising any comorbid diseases or prior surgical procedures. The patient is provided a comprehensive interpretation by the surgical team of the procedure's benefits, risks, and anticipations. Preoperative preparations involve modifying one's lifestyle, taking certain medications, and consulting with other professionals to get the best possible outcomes and minimize the risk of complications both during and after surgery.
The patient is given general anesthesia before valvular surgery to ensure their comfort and immobility during the process. The surgical team performs the procedure by making a chest incision to access the heart, often through the sternum (median sternotomy), however, sometimes they involve less invasive methods to make smaller incisions. After the surgeon accesses the heart, the damaged valve is either fixed or replaced with a biological or mechanical replacement valve. Before stitching the incision, the surgical team cautiously confirms that the new valve is positioned correctly and functions as needed. Modern monitoring techniques are involved during the procedure to ensure the patient's safety and the best possible results.
The patient spends some time under close observation in the intensive care unit (ICU) to ensure a stable recovery after valve surgery. The function of the heart, vital signs, and general health are closely monitored. Antibiotics, painkillers, and other drugs are prescribed as needed to treat discomfort and prevent infection. The patient is slowly moved to a regular hospital room once stable. Physical therapy and rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility are involved to assist in recovery. The surgical team schedules regular follow-up visits to monitor recovery, assess healing, and offer continuous care and support.
