Hospitals For Double Valve Replacement in India
585 reviews
A Double Valve Replacement is a replacement of both the mitral and aortic valves or the entire left side of the heart. This is a more uncommon procedure, and it is more complex, so it has a slightly higher mortality rate than other procedures. The rate of mortality for a Double Valve Replacement lands somewhere between 5-13%, whereas the mortality rate for other chronic conditions of the heart can be less than 4% mortality rate. This is generally a procedure that is reserved for patients whose doctors feel that the patient is nearing end-stage heart failure. This procedure is most effective if it is done before the ending stages of chronic heart failure set in. Catching heart failure in its earliest stages can help keep the mortality rate low as possible.
