Overview

Heart valve replacement is an essential procedure that can save lives and greatly improve the quality of life for people suffering from serious heart valve disease.

Types of Heart Valve Replacement Surgery

Heart valve replacement surgery has two main categories;

Mechanical Valve Replacement: In this type, a doctor uses an artificial valve made of durable materials like metal or ceramic. These valves are long-lasting but require lifelong blood-thinning medication to prevent clots.

Biological Valve Replacement:This type of procedure is also known as tissue valves, these are mainly made from animal tissues (usually pig or cow) or donated human tissue. They do not require long-term blood-thinning medication but may need to be replaced after 10-20 years.
