Surgical Flap Incision/Plasty
Surgical valvuloplasty can be considered when the valve is dysplastic, accompanied by sub/supravalvular stenosis, or percutaneous ballooning does not achieve the expected results and there is a significant residual pressure gradient. The decision is based on transvalvular pressure gradient, right ve

How Surgical Flap Incision/Plasty is performed
Surgical pulmonary valve incision/valvuloplasty is often used for anatomical types where ballooning is not applicable or has limited effect. Usually, under general anesthesia, a median or minimally invasive incision is made, and cardiopulmonary bypass is performed if necessary. Under direct vision, adhesions at the commissures are separated, the valve orifice is incised, or the annulus/right ventricular outflow tract is enlarged with a patch, and combined lesions are treated. Intraoperative imaging assesses residual pressure gradient and regurgitation before hemostasis and chest closure. Postoperative observation of circulation and respiration is performed in the intensive care unit. The goal is to relieve obstruction and improve right ventricular load. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Combining preoperative evaluation, hospitalization, and postoperative follow-up, it is generally recommended to stay in China for approximately 3–5 weeks; the actual schedule depends on the hospital schedule and recovery progress.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get started?⌄
Submit a free evaluation request with your diagnosis and records. The team reviews your case and suggests suitable next steps.
Do I need a visa to travel to China for treatment?⌄
Many patients do. We can help explain what documents are normally needed for treatment travel planning.
Will there be a language barrier?⌄
Medical interpretation can be arranged for consultations and treatment visits.
How much does treatment cost?⌄
Costs depend on the procedure, hospital, and treatment pathway. A practical estimate is provided before travel.
What happens after I return home?⌄
We can help coordinate remote follow-up and keep communication open with your care team.
