Aortic Valve Replacement
Articles and resources for Aortic Valve Replacement in Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Aortic valve replacement is a surgical procedure aimed at treating aortic valve disease, which can occur when the valve narrows or fails to close properly. This condition can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or fatigue, and may result from age-related wear, congenital heart defects, or conditions like rheumatic fever. When these symptoms significantly impact a patient’s quality of life or pose serious health risks, doctors may recommend valve replacement to restore normal blood flow and heart function.
The procedure can be performed through traditional open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient’s condition and overall health. During the surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with a mechanical or biological valve. Patients can expect to be closely monitored during the operation and may spend several days in recovery. The length of the hospital stay and recovery time can vary based on the method used and individual circumstances.
The typical benefits of aortic valve replacement include improved heart function, enhanced quality of life, and relief from symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection, bleeding, or complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, patients may need ongoing monitoring and care, particularly if a mechanical valve is used, as it may require lifelong blood-thinning medication to prevent clots.
