Overview
Heart valve disease occurs when one or more of the valves in your heart do not work properly, disrupting blood flow. Conditions include stenosis (narrowing) and regurgitation (leaking).
Procedure
Treatment ranges from medications to manage symptoms to surgical valve repair or replacement (mechanical or biological). TAVR is a minimally invasive option for aortic stenosis.
✅ Benefits
Normalized blood flow, prevention of heart failure, reduced shortness of breath, and increased life expectancy.
⚠️ Risks
Infection, bleeding, blood clots, arrhythmias, or valve degeneration over time (for biological valves).
🔄 Recovery
Open surgery: 7-10 days hospital stay, 6-8 weeks recovery. TAVR: 2-3 days hospital stay, 1-2 weeks recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do artificial heart valves last?
Mechanical valves can last a lifetime but require blood thinners. Biological valves last 10-15 years before needing replacement.
What is TAVR?
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery.
