How Valve Repair/Replacement is performed
Heart valve repair/replacement can use mechanical or bioprosthetic valves, which are determined by specialist assessment. Usually, under cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial protection, the heart is exposed through open chest, and valve plasty, annuloplasty, or replacement is performed. The effect is evaluated under the guidance of transesophageal ultrasound and blood flow monitoring; combined lesions are treated if necessary. After the operation, transfer to the intensive care unit to monitor circulation and respiration, gradually remove the catheter and adjust the anticoagulation regimen, with the goal of improving hemodynamics and symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
