What Is Heart Double Valve Replacement?
Heart double valve replacement is a surgical procedure performed when two heart valves, typically the aortic and mitral valves, are malfunctioning. During this operation, both diseased valves are removed and replaced with either mechanical or biological prosthetic valves. The surgery is conducted as open-heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass, which temporarily takes over the function of your heart and lungs, ensuring that your body receives continuous blood flow during the procedure.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Comprehensive Cardiac Assessment:
We perform detailed evaluations including echocardiograms, CT scans, and cardiac catheterization to assess the function and structure of your heart valves. This helps us create a tailored surgical plan that meets your specific needs. - Risk Stratification:
Our multidisciplinary team evaluates your overall health, including kidney and lung function, to determine your surgical risk and ensure you are optimized for the procedure. - Pre-Surgery Instructions:
You will receive clear guidance on fasting, medication adjustments (such as the cessation of anticoagulants), and dietary restrictions to prepare your body for surgery. - Patient Education:
Detailed consultations explain the procedure’s complexity, potential risks, and the expected recovery process, including the lifelong follow-up required if mechanical valves are used.
The Surgical Procedure
During heart double valve replacement, our experienced cardiac surgeons perform open-heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. They carefully remove the malfunctioning valves and implant new prosthetic valves, choosing between mechanical or biological options based on your condition and lifestyle. This procedure aims to restore proper blood flow and enhance overall heart function.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
- ICU Monitoring:
After surgery, patients are closely monitored in the ICU for 2–3 days to ensure hemodynamic stability and detect any early complications. - Pain and Fluid Management:
You will receive IV pain medications and diuretics to manage discomfort and maintain proper fluid balance during recovery. - Anticoagulation Therapy:
For patients with mechanical valves, lifelong anticoagulation therapy is essential to prevent blood clots. - Rehabilitation:
Enroll in a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program focused on physical activity, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications to improve strength, endurance, and overall heart function.
Long-Term Follow-Up:
Regular follow-up visits, including echocardiograms and blood tests, monitor the function of the new valves and adjust medications as needed.
