Heart Valve Replacement Surgery in Turkey

Overview

Heart valve replacement operation is the surgical procedure that is performed to repair or replace the heart valves in cases where one or more of the heart valves do not work properly. The heart valves provide regular blood flow in the body, and narrowing or blood leaks in these valves can lead to serious health problems. Heart valve diseases can show symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations, difficulty breathing, weakness, dizziness, and fainting.

How is Heart Valve Replacement Surgery Performed?

Some necessary tests and evaluations are demanded by the doctors to determine the best treatment for your health situation. The type of surgery depends on the heart valve which has disease. The surgery can be performed with an open surgery or a minimally invasive method with smaller incisions. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The diseased heart valve is removed and replaced with a new one. The operation takes approximately 2-4 hours.

After Heart Valve Replacement Surgery

It is usually necessary to stay in the intensive care unit for 1 night. Then, hospitalization is required for 3-5 days after heart valve replacement surgery. Recovery status, blood pressure, heart functions, and any signs of infection are monitored during the hospitalization. It is important not to miss post-operative follow-up appointments. Your doctor will recommend regular walks and breathing exercises to gradually increase your activities over time.

My aunt had a knee replacement surgery on both her knees and we've seen an incredible progress eventhough it's only been 2 weeks. Doctor is amazing, hospitality is another level, nurses and all procedures are highly professional. As someone who has been to many big hospitals in Turkey, I must say this one is by far the best cause they're health-oriented as opposed to money oriented. Definitely recommend it to anyone especially for orthopedic surgery and physiotherapy.

Getting a visa, airport pickup, comfortable travel, pre-operative examination, surgery, post-operative care, thermal hotel, and countless other services were provided. Throughout this process, they never left our side, not even for the shortest moment. I am very grateful to the Prusa Medica team and Op. Dr. Kayhan Turan; they left a profound impression on me. It was a pleasure to get to know you and work with you. I highly recommend them; they truly leave no question marks in your mind. They cleared away all the doubts I had
