What Is Aortic Valve Replacement?
Aortic Valve Replacement is a surgical procedure performed to treat aortic stenosis (narrowing of the valve) or aortic regurgitation (leaking of the valve), both of which prevent the heart from pumping blood efficiently to the body. During the procedure, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with either a mechanical valve or a biological (tissue) valve, chosen based on the patient’s age, lifestyle, and overall health.
The procedure can be performed through traditional open-heart surgery or, in select cases, through a minimally invasive approach using smaller incisions, depending on the patient’s condition following a detailed cardiac evaluation.

Our Procedures
Types of Aortic Valve Replacement
Aortic Valve Replacement includes a variety of advanced techniques tailored to each patient's condition, allowing effective treatment of aortic valve disease with the best possible long-term outcomes.
Mechanical Valve Replacement
Uses a durable, man-made valve designed to last a lifetime, typically recommended for younger patients, with lifelong blood-thinning medication required afterward.
Biological (Tissue) Valve Replacement
Uses a valve made from animal or human tissue, often preferred for older patients or those who wish to avoid long-term blood thinners, though it may need replacement over time.
Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement
Replaces the damaged valve through small chest incisions rather than a full sternotomy, reducing blood loss and supporting a faster recovery for selected patients.
Robotic-Assisted Aortic Valve Replacement
Uses robotic-assisted instruments for greater surgical precision through smaller incisions, supporting a smoother, less painful recovery in appropriately selected cases.
