LVAD / Valve Replacement

Eternal Hospital is committed to providing the most premium care to patients suffering from a wide range of heart diseases and ailments. Our areas of expertise include procedures like LVAD and Valve Replacement. The treatments are planned by our experts, keeping in view the specific needs of the patients while adhering to stringent benchmarks of quality and safety. Every procedure is backed by advanced technology and innovative techniques.

  • Heart valve replacement is a surgical intervention reserved for patients with life-threatening valve conditions that cannot be treated by medication alone. It is a crucial, often life-saving procedure that can help to alleviate the risks of serious complications. During the procedure, doctors remove the diseased or dysfunctional valve of the patient and replace it with a prosthetic valve. This can be done via the conventional method or following a minimally invasive technique.
  • LVD or Left ventricular assist device is an option for those patients whose left ventricle has been damaged beyond repair. The mechanical pump is implanted surgically to support the heart in pumping blood throughout the body. It is a battery-powered device that may serve as a bridge to heart transplant for patients waiting for a donor heart or even as a destination therapy for those who are not fit for the transplant procedure.
More Information

  • Valve stenosis, a condition marked by an obstruction in the valve
  • Valvular regurgitation, marked by the inability of the valve to close completely
  • Congenital defect of the valve
  • Valve damage caused by serious heart infection, rheumatic heart disease or any other condition
  • Calcifications in the valve
  • Valve dysfunction caused by degenerative valve disease

  • Improve the quality of the patient's life

Procedure

On the day of the procedure

  • You will be required to stay in the ICU for 3 to 4 days. Depending on your prognosis you will be shifted to your room and then discharged within a week to 10 days
  • Post-operative care focuses on timely assessment of the patient’s vitals, tracking prognosis, wound care and briefing patients about medication & post-discharge care at home.
  • Doctors will give you a set of guidelines related to your diet and daily activities.

Care at home
