After heart valve surgery, the speed of patient recovery varies from 1~2 weeks to 3~6 months depending on the type of surgery, such as traditional surgery and minimally invasive surgery. 1. The traditional surgical approach requires sawing of the bones, opening of the chest, and the addition of the aid of an extracorporeal circulation device. During the surgery, the diseased valve is removed and replaced with a prosthetic valve or the original damaged valve is repaired. Such surgery is more traumatic to the body and involves bone healing, so the recovery time is longer, about 3~6 months. 2. Minimally invasive surgery is a more advanced surgery at present, which only needs to make a small incision on the side of the chest wall or open part of the sternum, which is less traumatizing to the body and quicker recovery, usually 1~2 weeks. It should be noted that the patient should be kept in the hospital for observation after the surgery, and can only be discharged from the hospital after being diagnosed by the doctor as being in good condition.
