Valve Replacement

Exploring Valve Replacement

Valve replacement surgery stands as a crucial intervention for individuals grappling with heart valve diseases, providing a pathway to restore normal heart function and alleviate distressing symptoms.

At UCSI Hospital, skilled surgeons perform this procedure with precision and expertise. During the surgery, damaged or diseased heart valves are substituted with prosthetic valves, tailored to the patient's specific condition and medical history, whether mechanical or biological. Post-surgery, patients undergo a period of hospitalisation, followed by rehabilitation and necessary lifestyle adjustments.

While valve replacement entails inherent risks like bleeding, infection, and blood clots, advancements in surgical techniques and post-operative care at UCSI Hospital mitigate these risks.

Ultimately, the benefits of valve replacement, including improved heart function and enhanced quality of life, often far outweigh the potential risks, offering individuals a chance at prolonged heart health and vitality.
