In case this procedure is indicated to you by your cardiologist, you can expect the following set of guidelines to be practiced:

Discussion: Before the operation, your cardiac surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery with you. If you have any queries about the treatment, you should feel free to ask him/her.

Tests: A wide range of diagnostic tests are recommended by doctors to monitor the condition aptly. These include ECG, blood tests, chest X-ray and more. 

Smoking: You should quit smoking cigarettes at least 2 weeks before the surgery to avoid complications. 

Medicines: You will be asked to discontinue certain medicines if any. You should inform your healthcare provider about all kinds of medicines you take. 

Fasting: You will have to fast for a couple of hours before the surgery. Your surgeon would describe the details about the same to you. 

Clothing: You must arrange some loose baggy clothes for yourself to wear after the operation.

Allergy: You should also inform the team about any allergies you may have.

The surgeon will first provide you anesthesia which will keep you in a sleepy state throughout the operation. You will be connected to a heart-lung machine. This machine will maintain the flow of blood in your body while the surgeon operates on your heart. 

The replacement of the valve can be performed via two methods. Surgeons can perform open-heart surgery or minimally invasive surgery to operate on valves. 

In open-heart surgery, a long wide incision is made on the chest to access the heart. While smaller incisions are made in a minimally invasive procedure. The purpose of both surgeries is to replace the affected heart valve. 

The surgeon removes the diseased valve and places an artificial (mechanical or biological) in the same position. The type of replaced valve depends upon the patient’s health and choice. 

Post this, the incision(s) are closed to complete the process.

After the surgery, you can expect the following steps to happen:

• The clinical team will monitor your health

• You will spend a few days in the hospital under the supervision of medical professionals

• You will be given instructions regarding your medicines

• The clinical team will guide you on how to indulge in physical activity and return to a normal lifestyle

• You will be asked to return to the hospital for follow-ups

It is a safe procedure if performed by experienced and qualified surgeons. However, some risks and complications are related to this surgery. These include:

• Infection at the surgical site 

• Heart attack

• Bleeding 

• Blood clots 

• Irregular heart rhythm 

• Stroke 

• Malfunctioning of the replaced valve
