Individuals who had undergone Aortic Valve Replacement may take 4-6 weeks to recover completely.

Aortic Valve Replacement may take up to 1 to 2 hours to complete.

A certified and trained Heart surgeon and a Cardiologist who is well experienced in performing Aortic Valve Replacement can perform this surgery.

Aortic Valve Replacement is indicated in the following conditions:
- Aortic valve leakage
- Damage to the aortic valve
- Congenital defect in aortic valve

A surgical procedure done to replace the Aortic valve with an artificial mechanical or biological tissue valve is known as Aortic Valve Replacement(AVR). AVR surgery is done as a result of the dysfunction of aortic valve present in the aorta, which inhibits the backflow of oxygenated blood into the left ventricle. As a result of the aortic valve not working, the blood will backflow into the left ventricle, hence a sufficient amount of oxygenated blood is not pumped out of the left ventricle to the body organs.

AVR is done in two different ways:
- Open Surgery
- Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
