Heart Valve surgery in India

Heart Valves and it Role
Blood is pumped through your heart in only one direction. Heart valves play a key role in this one-way blood flow, opening and closing with each heartbeat. Pressure changes on either side of the valves cause them to open their flap-like "doors" (called cusps or leaflets) at just the right time, then close tightly to prevent a backflow of blood. Heart valve disease occurs when a valve doesn't work right. A valve may not open all the way. Or a valve may have problems closing. If valve doesn't open all the way then less blood moves through to the next chamber or if a valve doesn't close tightly, blood may leak backward. These problems implies that the heart have to work harder to pump the same amount of blood. Or, blood may back up in the lungs or body because it's not moving through the heart as it should.

Medical datas reveals that Mitral and Aortic valves of the heart mostly requires for repair or replace. These valves are on the left side of the heart, which works harder than the right. They control the flow of oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the rest of the body.

What is Heart valve surgery?

Heart valve surgery is used to repair or replace diseased heart valves. Repair means that the valve is mended, while replacement means the diseased valve is removed and a new valve is inserted in its place.There are a number of approaches physicians can take to repair defective heart valves. The best approach depends on the nature of the valve problem, and the condition of the patient suffering with valve disease.If valve damage is mild, doctors may be able to treat it with medicines. If damage to the valve is severe, surgery to repair or replace the valve may be needed. In some cases, existing heart valves can be repaired, If they cannot be repaired then they are needed to be replaced.

At what condition of the Heart Valve surgery is recommended?

Heart valve surgery may be recommended for the following conditions:

A) Narrowing of the heart valve (stenosis)
B) Leaking of the heart valve (regurgitation)

What are the causes for Heart valve disease?

What is Heart valve repair and what are the procedures?

Valve repair can usually be done on congenital valve defects that is defects that the patients are born with and has a good success record with treating mitral valve defects.

Here are some procedures surgeons may use to repair a valve:
--Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty : This is a nonsurgical procedure to treat stenosis. In this procedure, local anesthetic is used by the cardiologist to numb the area of the body generally the groin. From where catheter( a thin flexible tube) in inserted into the blood vessel and fed all the way up to the heart. Once the damaged valve is reached, a balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated. The inflated balloon stretches, widens and separates the narrowed valve. This procedure is suggested for patients who cannot undergo openheart surgery because of failing health or other reasons. However in some cases there is a risk that the repaired valve may re narrow (restenosis) or that it may no longer be able to close properly, allowing blood to leak back in the wrong direction (regurgitation).

--Valvotomy : A valvotomy (also known as a valvulotomy) is a type of open heart surgery in which the surgeon cuts into a valve to repair valvular damage. In this procedure narrowed valve leaflets are widened by carefully opening the fused leaflets with a scalpel.This is a procedure to strengthens the leaflets to provide more support and to let the valve close tightly. This support comes from a ring-like device that surgeons attach around the outside of the valve opening.

--Decalcification : In this process the calcium buildup is removed from the leaflets. Once the calcium is removed, the leaflets can close properly.

--Reshaping : Here the surgeon cuts out a section of a leaflet. Once the leaflet is sewn back together, the valve can close properly.

--Patching : In this process the surgeon covers holes or tears in the leaflets with a tissue patch.

--Repair of structural support : In this process the cardiologist replaces or shortens the cords that give the valves support (these cords are called the chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles). When the cords are the right length, the valve can close properly.

What is Heart Valve replacement and what are it's type?

Severe valve disease means that the valve cannot be repaired, then it is need to be replaced. Valve replacement is an open-heart surgery and is mostly used to treat aortic valves and severely damaged mitral valves. It is also used to treat any valve disease that is life-threatening. . This type of procedure is typically used on heart valves that leak or on those that have thickened, hardened or stretched. Sometimes, more than one valve may be damaged in the heart, so patients may need more than one repair or replacement.

For other problem in the heart go through.
Angioplasty
Heart Transplantation
