Double valve replacement (DVR) is a major open-heart operation in which two diseased heart valves are replaced with artificial valves during a single surgery. It is most commonly performed for severe disease affecting both the aortic and mitral valves — a pattern frequently caused by rheumatic heart disease, degenerative valve disease, or infective endocarditis. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia using a heart-lung machine, which temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs while the surgeon removes the damaged valve tissue and stitches the new replacement valves into place. Replacement valves may be mechanical (highly durable, requiring lifelong blood-thinning medication) or biological tissue valves (no long-term anticoagulation in most cases, but with a finite lifespan of 10–20 years). Most patients experience significant improvement in breathlessness, energy, and heart function, with recovery typically taking three to six months.
Both diseased valves are replaced with durable mechanical valves designed to last many decades, requiring lifelong blood-thinning medication (warfarin) in return.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: 2D Echocardiography (transthoracic), Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE), Coronary Angiography, Carotid Doppler Ultrasound, Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood Group & Cross-match, ECG and Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $9,500 – $11,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 27 days
