FAQ

During this period, your medical team will carefully:

  • Watch for signs of infection in your incision sites
  • Check your blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate
  • Work with you to manage any pain you experience after operation
  • Instruct you to walk regularly to increase your activity gradually and do breathing exercises as you recover

Your surgeon will give you some specific instructions to follow. For instance:

  • You must avoid driving a car or lifting anything more than 10 pounds for several weeks.
  • You will be able to do your routine daily activities after two months or three.
  • Don’t worry if your wound is sore, swollen, or red, you get tired easily, you have trouble sleeping, or don’t have any appetite. As time passes, all these complications will disappear.
  • You will be recommended to have an exercise program or cardiac rehab. Both of them accelerate the healing process.

This operation is mostly carried out for curing infants and children with aortic valve stenosis. Unfortunately, the valve may become narrow again in adults who have had this operation previously. Accordingly, it's usually recommended for adults who are too ill for undergoing a surgery or are waiting for a valve replacement. Over time, the narrowed valve might need additional procedures to be properly treated. A catheter procedure might also be used in aortic valve repair. For fixing a leaking replacement heart valve through this technique, doctors typically insert a plug or device to fix the problem.

There are two main types of valves, namely mechanical and biological valves.
Mechanical valves are generally made of materials such as plastic, carbon, or metal. They are strong and last for a long time. Since blood sticks to mechanical valves and may create blood clots, patients with these valves will have to take blood-thinning medications for the rest of their lives.
Biological valves are either made from animal tissue or taken from the human tissue of a donated heart. In some situations, a patient’s own tissue can be used for valve replacement. Patients with these kinds of valves do not require blood-thinning medicines. However, biological valves are not as strong as the other kind and must be replaced every 10 years. Your doctor will determine the best kind of valve for you considering your overall condition.

Despite the fact that there are some minimally invasive techniques which can tackle your problems to some extent, most doctors recommend mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement to improve long-term outcomes. If your heart deals with problems that cannot be addressed by these two operations, your surgeon may decide to implement other procedures as well to treat both conditions simultaneously.
Prior to the surgery, your doctor will discuss with you whether mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement is the most effective solution for your condition. In general, surgeons recommend mitral valve repair if possible. The main reason is that it preserves your mitral valve and heart function. Additionally, some complications like the risk of blood clots can be avoided in this case.
