A surgical procedure performed by heart surgeons to treat various heart valve problems/defects is Heart Valve Surgery. This treatment is used to repair or replace a heart valve that is malfunctioning due to valvular heart disease, also called Heart Valve disease. This occurs when one of the four heart halves, which are in charge of pumping blood in the appropriate direction, fails to operate properly. It is a complex procedure that can take up to two hours to complete and that usually requires a few weeks of healing.
.
The most frequent minimally invasive technique is valve surgery, which can include both valve replacement & repair. Surgery for your heart valves can reduce your symptoms, lengthen your life expectancy, and perhaps prevent you from dying. You should be in a position to resume your regular activities in due time. Every patient heals at his or her own speed. Your overall health & fitness level affects how quickly you recover.
The possible benefits of heart valve surgery are as follows:
A few medical and clinical tests will be performed by our doctors to assess your situation. If the tests show that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure, the physicians will schedule your treatment at the hospital.
The following tests are performed to diagnose heart valve disease:
A portable wand put on your chest emits sound waves that create a moving picture of the chambers and valves of your heart.
High-quality pictures of your heart are produced by combining radio & magnetic waves.
By placing a probe with an ultrasound transducer down your throat, a cardiac ultrasound can be conducted. Because the oesophagus is so close to the heart, this can produce pictures that are crisper than those from a standard echocardiogram.
This test takes images of your coronary arteries, heart chambers, and heart valves using X-ray technology. A contrast dye injection into a catheter in your arm or leg aids in the production of the pictures.
An immediate chest X-ray.
The results of an echocardiogram are used to determine how the heart’s valves and function respond to activity after a treadmill or bike ride
.
Heart valve surgery could not be performed on the patients who:
Unfavourable medical conditions, including heart failure, cardiac arrest, and blood clots, might result from the damaged valve if this problem is not addressed on time.
