Heart Valve Replacement Surgery in Banashankari

Heart valve disease occurs when one or more of the heart’s valves don’t open or close properly, affecting blood flow through the heart and body. If left untreated, valve disorders can lead to heart failure, stroke, or sudden cardiac events.

With a comprehensive and patient-centered approach, Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar provides expert care in diagnosing and managing heart valve disease using state-of-the-art diagnostics and advanced treatment options.

Types of Valve Problems We Treat

• Aortic Stenosis: Narrowing of the aortic valve, restricting blood flow

• Mitral Regurgitation: Leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve

• Aortic Regurgitation: Aortic valve fails to close tightly, causing backflow

• Mitral Stenosis: Narrowing of the mitral valve, often due to rheumatic fever

• Tricuspid and Pulmonary Valve Disorders: Less common but clinically significant issues

When to Suspect Valve Disease

You may have valve dysfunction if you notice:

• Shortness of breath during activity or lying down

• Fatigue or reduced exercise capacity

• Chest discomfort or palpitations

• Swelling in ankles or feet

• Dizziness or fainting spells

• Heart murmur detected during routine check-up

Advanced Diagnostics

Early and accurate diagnosis ensures better outcomes. We use:

• Echocardiography (2D/3D, Transesophageal) – Gold standard for valve assessment

• Cardiac MRI – For detailed structural visualization

• Cardiac CT Scan – Helpful in planning surgical/interventional procedures

• Electrocardiogram (ECG) – To monitor rhythm and detect strain

• Cardiac Catheterization – When further pressure and flow analysis is needed

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the valve affected and the severity of dysfunction:

• Medication Management – To control symptoms and delay progression

• Balloon Valvuloplasty – Minimally invasive procedure for stenotic valves

• Valve Repair Surgery – Preserves the native valve when feasible

• Valve Replacement (Surgical or Transcatheter – TAVR) – For severely damaged valves

• Anticoagulation & Monitoring – Post-surgery management to prevent clots

Benefits of Timely Valve Care
