Heart Valve Surgery Abroad: 8,000~20,000 US Dollars<\/strong>rn{cardiac surgery quote covers all logistics and medical costs at destination}<\/strong><\/p>\n rn<\/p>\n Indiau00a0[Harvard Medical Affiliated & USA JCI Accredited Hospitals]rnCosta Rica, Jordan, Thailand, Mexico[Many World Class Hospitals & Cardiac Surgeons]rnTurkeyu00a0[Eminent US Board Certified Cardiac Surgeon]<\/p>\n rnHeart valve surgery addresses the problem of heart valves not functioning right. In heart valve disease, either the valve may not open completely, or it may not shut tight.rnrnIn either circumstance, blood doesnu2019t move through the heartu2019s chambers the way it should, thus putting more pressure on the heart.rnrnHeart valve surgery abroad is gaining popularity with medical tourists as the expertise of cardiac surgeons in India is proved every day. Also, heart valve surgery is pretty cheap abroad when compared to the costs in the US.rnrn\n rnA ring may be sewn around the opening of the valve<\/strong> to tighten it. Other parts of the valve may be cut, shortened, separated, or made stronger to help the valve open and close right.rn<\/p>\n rnIf a valve cannot be repaired, it may be replaced with a prosthetic valve. Two kinds of prosthetic heart valves are available: mechanical and biological.<\/strong>rnrnA mechanical valve is created from artificial materials. Though it lasts long, the biggest disadvantage is that you will have to be on a lifetime therapy of anticoagulants or blood thinners as blood tends to clot on or around the mechanical valve.rnrnBiological (tissue) valves are taken from pig, cow, or human donors. These valves donu2019t last as long as mechanical valves, but they usually do not necessitate the long-term use of an anticoagulant.rnrnChoosing the valve type is a decision on which your doctor will advise you.rnrnThe decision is influenced by factors like your age, the kind of work you do, the size of your valve, the condition of your heart, your ability to take an anticoagulant, and how many valves you may need.rnrn rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn<\/ul>\n rn\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn<\/ul>\n rn<\/p>\n rn<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn<\/ul>\n rn\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn t<\/p>\n rn<\/ul>\n rn\n Heart Valve Surgery u2013 Procedure Overview<\/h2>\n rnrnIn heart valve surgery, one or more valves are repaired or replaced, depending on the condition of the valve.

Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery<\/h2>\n rnrnHeart valve surgery can also be done through the minimally invasive method. However, a total evaluation of your condition is required before determining if you are a candidate for this method.rnrnMinimally invasive heart valve surgery has significant advantages over the traditional method like faster recovery, lesser pain<\/strong>, and less visible scarring<\/strong>.rnrn\n

Alternatives to Heart Valve Surgery<\/h2>\n rnrnSome patients may respond to medications for the conditions associated with heart valve disease. The other alternative to heart valve surgery is a procedure called balloon valvotomy: it increases the opening of a narrowed valve.rnrnYour doctor will help you decide if this procedure is right for you.rnrn\n
Heart Valve Surgery Abroad<\/h2>\n rnrnThe cost of heart valve surgery varies between $ 20,000 u2013 $40,000<\/strong>. This can be well out of the reach of many, especially of those who are not insured.rnrnHence, it is no surprise that many patients are opting to go abroad to countries like India, Turkey, and Mexico for heart valve surgery.rnrnThese countries have achieved excellence in cardiac care and have high success rates. No wonder, medical tourism is a booming industry in India, Turkey, and Mexico.rnrnWith advances in technology<\/strong>, heart valve surgery has become very safe and holds a lot of promise for patients.rnrnHence, do not let considerations of cost come in the way of your enjoying a better lifestyle. Medical tourism is here to help.rnrn\n
