Description
  • Double valve replacement surgery is better known
    as heart valve replacement surgery. It is
    performed to treat the heart by replacing a
    damaged valve with a healthy one. The valve
    replacement keeps the heart safe and sound from
    further damage or infection. The human heart
    consists of four valves the mitral valve, the
    tricuspid valve, the pulmonic valve and the
    aortic valve. These valves direct blood from and
    to the body throughout the heart. A defect,
    disease, damage or infection of the heart leads
    to the malfunction of any of the four valves.

Who
  • Anyone who is having problems like breathing,
    chest pain,etc can undergo heart replacement
    surgery irrespective of age.
  • Types of Valve Replacement
  • Aortic Valve Replacement
  • It is on the left side of the heart and supports
    as an outflow valve. It allows blood to release
    the left ventricle. Normally, the aortic valve
    has three sections of tissue, known as leaflets.
    This is called a tricuspid valve. A defective
    valve which has only two leaflets, so its called
    a bicuspid valve.
  • 2. Mitral Valve Replacement
  • The mitral valve is on the left side of the
    heart. It allows blood flow from the left atrium
    into the left ventricle. When the valve is very
    thin, it can make it difficult for blood to
    arrive. This may affect it to back up, beginning
    pressure in the lungs. When the valve doesnt
    close by properly, blood can outflow back to the
    lungs. This may be due to a congenital defect,
    infection, or a degenerative disease.
  • The defective valve will be replaced with either
    a metal artificial valve or a biological valve.
    The metal valve will last a lifetime but requires
    you to take blood thinners.
  • 3. Double Valve Replacement
  • It is a replacement of the entire left side of
    the heart. This type of surgery is not as common
    as the others and the mortality rate is slightly
    higher.
  • 4. Pulmonary Valve Replacement
  • The pulmonary valve splits the pulmonary artery
    and the right ventricle. The job is to allow
    blood to flow from the heart to the lungs. The
    need for pulmonary valve replacement is done for
    stenosis.
