Heart Valve Replacement Surgery in Hyderabad

Heart valve replacement is a life-saving surgery that restores normal blood flow when one or more heart valves become too narrow (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation). Depending on the patient’s condition, the damaged valve may be replaced with either a mechanical valve, which lasts a lifetime but requires blood-thinning medicines, or a tissue (biological) valve, made from animal tissue and more natural in function but with a limited lifespan. This procedure is often needed for conditions such as severe valve stenosis, congenital valve defects, infections like endocarditis, or age-related valve degeneration. Traditionally performed through open-heart surgery, valve replacement today can also be done using Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), which offers smaller cuts, quicker recovery, and less pain—making it a safer, modern alternative for many patients.
