The human heart has two atrioventricular valves that separate the atria from the ventricles. The mitral valve, consisting of 2 leaflets, is on the left side, and the tricuspid valve, consisting of 3 leaflets, is on the right side. The mitral valve is affected much more often, and the tricuspid valve can also be damaged secondarily. Heart valve disease is successfully treated in Germany. The main operation is heart valve repair. This surgical procedure enables doctors to maintain optimal hemodynamic parameters while avoiding the need for anticoagulant intake on a continuous basis.

  2. Benefits of atrioventricular valve surgery in Germany

In most cases, open-heart surgery is performed. Physicians can repair the heart valve leaflets with autopericardial patches, perform chord replacement surgery, and repair the heart valve annulus fibrosus with sutures or support rings.

You can seek medical attention at the University Hospital Oldenburg, the University Hospital Essen, or the University Hospital Ulm. 

You are welcome to use the services of the Booking Health specialists. We can take care of all the arrangements for your trip, and you will be able to focus on restoring your health.

Methods of atrioventricular valve surgical repair

 

The treatment of an atrioventricular defect (AVD) involves various options for its surgical reconstruction. The type of surgical procedure depends on the type of lesion.

Options for atrioventricular valve dysplasia treatment in Germany include the following: 

  • leaflet repair that may include suturing and the use of pericardial patches or artificial materials;
  • separation of fused leaflets;
  • prosthetic repair of chords that are tendon filaments preventing the heart valves from moving too far in the opposite direction;
  • strengthening the annulus fibrosus with sutures or by implanting support rings.

In 90% of cases, the atrioventricular valve repair can be performed. Only in 10% of cases do doctors have to perform prosthetic replacement surgery to treat this heart valve.

Benefits of atrioventricular valve surgery in Germany

 

You can seek medical attention at one of the German clinics to undergo your surgery for atrioventricular valve repair. Hospitals with cardiosurgery departments admit foreign patients and provide them with top-class medical care. Doctors in Germany:

  • perform heart surgery of any complexity; 
  • perform heart surgery with a low risk of complications;
  • perform heart surgery with minimal mortality rates; 
  • perform heart surgery with high success rates, both immediately and in the long-term period after surgery.

Whenever required, cardiosurgery doctors can reconstruct several heart valves at once in one operation. After surgery in the cardiosurgery departments in Germany, patients receive quality care during their recovery time.

You can choose the most suitable clinic and medical care program through the Booking Health website. The company's website presents the surgical treatment cost, and it is possible to compare prices at different hospitals.
