Why Aortic Valve Replacement Is Needed

Performed for severe aortic stenosis, often from age-related calcification, or aortic regurgitation, both of which force the heart to work harder and can lead to heart failure if untreated. Congenital valve defects and certain infections can also damage the valve enough to require replacement.

Signs You May Need Aortic Valve Replacement

Shortness of breath with exertion, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness or fainting spells, and swelling in the legs from developing heart failure are typical warning signs. A heart murmur detected during a routine exam is often the first clue before symptoms become obvious.

Types of Aortic Valve Replacement

Surgical aortic valve replacement is done through open-heart surgery using a mechanical valve, which is durable but requires lifelong blood thinners, or a biological tissue valve, which needs no long-term blood thinners but wears out sooner. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a less invasive, catheter-based alternative increasingly used for older or higher-risk patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mechanical or tissue valve - which is better?

Mechanical valves last longer but need lifelong blood-thinning medication, while tissue valves don't need long-term blood thinners but may need replacement after 10-15 years; your cardiac surgeon will help choose based on your age and lifestyle.

What is TAVR and am I a candidate?

TAVR is a minimally invasive, catheter-based way to replace the valve without open-heart surgery, generally offered to older or higher-surgical-risk patients; your cardiologist can assess your suitability.

How long is recovery after open valve replacement?

Typically 6-8 weeks, with cardiac rehabilitation recommended to safely rebuild strength and stamina.

Is the surgery risky?

As major heart surgery it carries real risks like bleeding, infection, and arrhythmias, but success rates are high, especially in experienced cardiac centers.

Will I need blood thinners after surgery?

Only long-term with a mechanical valve; tissue valve recipients usually need blood thinners for just a few months, per your cardiologist's guidance.
