Heart Valve Replacement Surgery in Delhi – MedEase Health
Heart valve replacement surgery is a critical procedure performed to treat damaged or diseased heart valves. When one or more valves fail to function properly, the heart has to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to serious complications. At MedEase Health in Delhi, we offer advanced, minimally invasive heart valve replacement surgery performed by experienced cardiac surgeons using the latest techniques and technologies.

Heart valve replacement surgery is a medical procedure that involves removing a damaged heart valve and replacing it with a prosthetic (artificial) valve. The human heart has four valves—mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary—that regulate blood flow. When any of these valves become narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), it disrupts normal blood circulation and can lead to heart failure or other complications.
This surgery aims to restore normal heart function, relieve symptoms, and improve the patient’s overall quality of life.
This surgery is typically recommended in the following conditions:
Severe valve stenosis: When the valve becomes stiff and narrow, restricting blood flow.
Valve regurgitation: When the valve leaks, allowing blood to flow backward.
Congenital valve defects: Birth defects in heart valves that cause complications.
Infective endocarditis: A serious infection damaging heart valves.
Degenerative valve disease: Age-related wear and tear leading to malfunction.
Patients with symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, breathlessness, heart palpitations, or fainting may be evaluated for heart valve replacement surgery.
There are two main types of prosthetic valves:
Mechanical Valves
Made of durable materials like titanium or carbon.
Long-lasting (can last a lifetime).
Requires lifelong use of blood-thinning medications to prevent clots.
Biological (Tissue) Valves
Made from animal tissue (pig or cow) or donated human valves.
Less durable than mechanical valves (may need replacement after 10–15 years).
Usually do not require lifelong blood thinners.
The choice of valve depends on the patient’s age, medical condition, lifestyle, and preference.
MedEase Health provides different surgical options based on the patient’s health and severity of the condition:
Open-Heart Valve Replacement
Involves a large chest incision and temporarily stopping the heart.
Performed under general anesthesia using a heart-lung bypass machine.
Preferred for patients needing multiple valve replacements or complex surgeries.
Minimally Invasive Valve Replacement (MIVR)
Performed through small chest incisions (2–3 inches).
Less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.
Suitable for selected patients with fewer complications.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
A catheter-based procedure to replace the aortic valve without open surgery.
Ideal for patients who are high-risk for traditional surgery.
Performed through a small incision in the groin.
Here is a general overview of the surgery process:
Preoperative Evaluation
Physical examination, echocardiogram, ECG, and cardiac catheterization.
Assessment of valve damage and general health condition.
Anesthesia and Incision
The patient is administered general anesthesia.
Depending on the technique, either a large chest incision or small keyhole incisions are made.
Removal of Damaged Valve
The surgeon carefully removes the diseased valve.
Implantation of New Valve
The chosen prosthetic valve is implanted and tested for proper function.
Closure and Recovery
The incisions are closed with sutures.
Patient is shifted to the ICU for close monitoring.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and patient condition:
Hospital Stay: 5–7 days after open surgery; 2–4 days after minimally invasive surgery.
Initial Recovery: 2–4 weeks with light activity.
Full Recovery: Usually within 6–8 weeks.
Cardiac Rehabilitation: Structured physical therapy and education to strengthen the heart and improve lifestyle.
During recovery, regular follow-ups, medication adherence, and a heart-healthy diet are crucial.
Like any major surgery, heart valve replacement involves some risks:
Infection
Bleeding
Blood clots
Stroke
Valve failure or malfunction
Reaction to anesthesia
At MedEase Health, we minimize these risks through expert surgical care, sterile environments, and advanced equipment.
The cost of heart valve replacement surgery in Delhi varies based on several factors:

Heart valve replacement surgery is a procedure to replace one or more damaged or diseased heart valves with artificial or biological valves. It is commonly done when the heart valves do not open or close properly, affecting normal blood flow.
Valve replacement becomes necessary when valves are severely narrowed (stenosis) or leaking (regurgitation), leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, or irregular heartbeat.
There are mainly two types of replacement valves:
Mechanical valves – made of durable materials; require lifelong blood-thinning medication.
Biological valves – made from animal or human tissue; may not last as long but usually don’t require lifelong anticoagulants.
Heart valve replacement can be performed using:
Open-heart surgery
Minimally invasive surgery
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) – a non-surgical, catheter-based procedure used especially for high-risk patients.
Typically, the procedure lasts 3 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity and number of valves involved.
Most patients stay in the hospital for 5–7 days. Full recovery may take 6–8 weeks for open surgery and about 2–3 weeks for minimally invasive or TAVR procedures.
Like any major surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, stroke, blood clots, and valve failure. However, with experienced surgeons and modern techniques, the success rate is very high.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so patients feel no pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may occur during recovery, which is managed with medication.
Yes, successful valve replacement can significantly improve heart function, energy levels, and overall quality of life, especially in patients with severe valve disease.
Mechanical valves can last a lifetime but require anticoagulation.
Biological valves usually last 10–20 years and may need replacement later.
If you receive a mechanical valve, lifelong blood thinners (like warfarin) are required. For biological valves, long-term medication may not be necessary unless there are other conditions.
Yes, in most cases. Heart valve replacement is considered a medically necessary procedure. MedEase Health offers insurance support and helps with documentation and claim processing.
