Doctors concentrate on two types of aortic valve surgery as the aortic valve replacement and aortic valve repair surgery.  

a)    Aortic valve replacement surgery:

Initially, medicine will be given and you will be prepared for the operation. Then the surgeons make an incision of depth say 6 to 8 inches on the heart especially around the bones on the breast area. For the time being the doctor makes your heart stops and connects that to a heart-lung designed machine that looks after the pumping of the blood. Now the doctor extracts the impaired valve and inputs a new valve in that area. Then he puts the heart back to operation and closes the chest incision. The replacement aortic valves are of two types mainly:

I.    Biological valve: This valve is crafted from the tissues of the animals. The longevity is for ten to twenty years. But yo

I. u won't face any problem related to blood clotting.

II.    Mechanical valve: This particular valve is designed from metal, plastics or carbon. The longevity is quite satisfactory, but there is a chance of blood clotting so need to bank on special medicines called blood thinners for the entire life.

b)    Aortic valve repair surgery:

Well, this method is most preferable as it reduces the chance of getting a post-surgery infection. So to perform the surgery, the surgeon injects some tissues to the patch tears located in the perforated flaps that seal the valve. Then he adds a kind of support at the valve root. Later he segregates the fused cups of the valve followed by discarding the tissue to tighten the valves. Then a process called annuloplasty where an imitated ring is fixed in and around the annulus.

Once the surgery is done you need to stay at least a day in the ICU and you will be offered medication, fluid through the intravenous lines. Pipes remain attached to your body to eliminate the urine and blood from the chest. The duration of the hospital stay varies according to the condition of an individual patient. 

While staying at the hospital, the doctors might ask you to be watchful of the following conditions like 

• Is there any trace of infection found on the area of cut

• Routine verification of blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing

• Guide you to deal with the pain after the surgery

• Also, assist to walk regularly to escalate the body movement

• Additionally instructs to practice exercise on breathing

The doctor may suggest you be mindful of the infection in the incision area.

Doctors recommend not doing any strenuous physical activities like lifting heavyweights. Also, you are not allowed to drive your car for a few weeks as well.

You can return to the normal work routine after the final say from the doctor.
