Cardiac Valve Replacement at CET CONSULT & Baskent Hospital

Our comprehensive approach ensures that every patient receives advanced, personalized care, from the initial evaluation to long-term follow-up, helping restore heart function and improve quality of life.

What Is Cardiac Valve Replacement?

Cardiac valve replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged heart valve is removed and replaced with a prosthetic valve, either mechanical or biological (tissue). The procedure is performed as open-heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass, which temporarily takes over the heart and lung functions to maintain blood circulation during the operation.

Pre-Operative Procedures

Medical Evaluation:
We begin with comprehensive cardiac imaging—such as echocardiograms and CT scans, and blood tests to assess your heart’s function and overall health.
Risk Assessment:
Our experienced cardiologists and anesthesiologists evaluate your medical history and current condition to determine any surgical risks.
Medication Management:
Prior to surgery, we carefully adjust or discontinue medications (especially blood thinners) to reduce bleeding risks during the procedure.
Patient Education:
We provide detailed consultations to discuss the procedure, its potential risks, and necessary lifestyle modifications after surgery, ensuring you feel fully informed and supported.

The Surgical Procedure

During the procedure, our expert surgeons at Baskent Hospital remove the damaged heart valve and replace it with a high-quality prosthetic valve using open-heart surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass. This state-of-the-art approach allows for precise removal and replacement, ensuring optimal heart function is restored.

Post-Operative Care & Recovery

ICU Monitoring:
After surgery, you will be closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 24–48 hours to ensure hemodynamic stability and to detect any complications early.
Pain Management:
We provide IV pain relievers during the initial phase and gradually transition to oral medications to keep you comfortable.
Rehabilitation:
Cardiac rehabilitation programs begin soon after discharge, focusing on strengthening, endurance training, and lifestyle adjustments to improve your overall heart function.
Anticoagulation Therapy:
For patients receiving mechanical valves, lifelong anticoagulation therapy is essential to prevent blood clots.
Regular Follow-Up:
Follow-up appointments, including regular echocardiograms, are scheduled to monitor valve function and your overall heart health.
