Valve replacement is a surgical procedure performed to treat damaged or diseased heart valves that are no longer functioning properly. The human heart has four valves—mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary—that regulate blood flow and ensure it moves in the correct direction. When one or more of these valves become narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), it can disrupt normal heart function and lead to serious health complications.

Valve replacement surgery involves removing the faulty valve and replacing it with either a mechanical valve or a biological valve (tissue valve from animal or human donor). This procedure can be done through open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon’s recommendation.

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) Replaces the aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the heart to the aorta. Commonly affected by stenosis or regurgitation.

Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR) Replaces the mitral valve between the left atrium and left ventricle. Often needed in rheumatic heart disease or mitral valve prolapse.

Tricuspid Valve Replacement Replaces the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle. Less common, typically needed in severe cases.

Pulmonary Valve Replacement Replaces the valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. Often performed in pediatric or congenital heart defect cases.

What is heart valve replacement surgery?
Heart valve replacement surgery is a procedure in which a damaged or diseased heart valve is replaced with a mechanical or biological valve to restore normal blood flow and heart function.
There are two main types:

Mechanical valves: Made of durable materials, lasting a lifetime but requiring lifelong blood thinners.

Biological (tissue) valves: Made from animal or human tissue, usually last 10–20 years and may not need lifelong medication.
You may need valve replacement if you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or fainting, and tests show your heart valve is severely damaged or not functioning properly. A cardiologist like Dr. Jai Bhagwan Dhull can diagnose and guide appropriate treatment.
Recovery typically takes 6–12 weeks. Patients often spend a few days in the hospital, followed by a cardiac rehabilitation program and lifestyle modifications to ensure full recovery.
