Is aortic valve replacement a dangerous surgery?
An aortic valve replacement is a major operation and occasionally the complications can be fatal. Overall, the risk of dying as a result of the procedure is estimated to be 1 to 3\%. But this risk is far lower than the risk associated with leaving severe aortic disease untreated.
What are the odds of surviving a heart valve replacement?
Relative survival rates (excluding early deaths) were 84\% 10 years after aortic, 68.5\% after mitral and 80.9\% after both aortic and mitral valve replacement. A multivariate model based on observed survival rates was produced for each group, using the Cox proportional hazards model.
Which is worse bypass surgery or valve replacement?
Compared with all bypass operations, valve replacement had no effect on surgical mortality except in the group at highest risk. Conversely, valve replacement was associated with reduced late survival in all but those at highest risk.
What is more serious bypass surgery or aortic valve replacement?
Combined aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft surgery carries a higher operative mortality than aortic valve replacement or coronary artery bypass graft surgery alone, but the clinical results at 1-3 year follow-up are equally satisfactory.
Which is better pig or cow valve?
In conclusion, the bovine valve is superior in its complication and haemodynamic profiles. Both bovine and porcine valves have comparable results with regard to the mortality, postoperative functional status and valve durability.
What is the success rate of aortic valve replacement?
Survival Rate of Heart Valve Replacement Surgery
| Heart valve replacement surgery | 5-year survival rate | 10-year survival rate |
|---|---|---|
| Aortic valve replacement surgery | 94\% | 84\% |
| Mitral valve replacement surgery | 64\% | 37\% |
| Pulmonary valve replacement surgery | 96\% | 93\% |
| Tricuspid valve replacement surgery | 79\% | 49\% |
How do you repair an aortic valve?
Aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement may be done through traditional open-heart surgery, which involves a cut (incision) in the chest, or by using minimally invasive methods, which involve smaller incisions in the chest or a catheter inserted in the leg or chest (transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR).

What are the risks of a heart valve replacement?
Possible risks of heart valve repair or replacement surgery include: Bleeding during or after the surgery. Blood clots that can cause heart attack, stroke, or lung problems. Infection. Pneumonia. Pancreatitis. Breathing problems. Arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
