Frequently Asked Questions
My valve problem started with rheumatic fever as a child — can it still be fixed?
Yes. Rheumatic valve disease is very common and routinely treated. The surgeon will review your echo and explain whether the valve can be repaired or needs replacing.
Will I need a repair or a replacement?
It depends on how damaged the valve is. Surgeons prefer to repair where they can. The specialist will tell you which is right for you.
Mechanical or tissue valve — which is better?
A mechanical valve lasts a lifetime but means taking blood thinners every day; a tissue valve avoids the thinners but may need replacing after 10–15 years. The specialist will help you choose based on your age and your life.
Is there a way to avoid open-heart surgery?
For some patients, often older or higher-risk, minimally invasive TAVR is possible. The specialist will tell you if you qualify.
Do I really have to travel just to talk to a doctor?
No. The video consultation and the written plan happen while you're still at home in Kumasi, and they're free.
What will it cost?
Single-valve surgery is usually $3,500–$7,200; complex cases and TAVR cost more. You'll get a written estimate so there are no surprises.
How long would I need to stay in India?
Open surgery means about 7–10 days in hospital and several weeks in total; TAVR recovery is quicker. The surgeon will confirm for your case.
What should I send before the consultation?
Your echo report, your ECG, recent blood tests, and any earlier cardiac reports.
Is the video consultation truly free?
Yes. You'll get a written opinion within 48 hours, with no obligation to go further.
