Aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement are procedures to treat diseases that affect the aortic valve which is one of the four valves that helps regulate the blood flow through the heart. These valves help keep blood flowing in the right direction through the heart. The aortic valve separates the heart's main pumping chamber which is the left ventricle from the main artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the body which is the aorta.
When the aortic valve is not working properly, it can interfere with blood flow and force the heart to work harder and supply the necessary blood to the rest of the body.
SYMPTOMS OF AORTIC VALVE DISEASE
In some people, aortic valve disease may not come with any signs or symptoms for a long period of time. However, others may experience the following symptoms:
AORTIC VALVE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT?
The decision to repair or replace a damaged aortic valve depends on various factors:
AORTIC VALVE REPAIR
Aortic valve repair is performed through open-heart surgery with an opening of the chest bone referred to as sternotomy. Doctors wire the bone back together after the procedure to prevent movement and faster healing.
Aortic valve repair procedures may involve different types of repair that includes:
AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT
In this procedure, the doctor removes the aortic valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue. Another type of biological tissue valve replacement that uses a person’s own pulmonary valve is sometimes possible.
OTHER APPROACHES
TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT (TAVR)
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is another type of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement that has a nonsurgical approach. It is also sometimes referred to as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Here, doctors may access the heart through a blood vessel in the leg or a small incision in the chest. A hollow tube or catheter is guided through the veins to the aortic valve. Once it is positioned correctly, a balloon-expandable or self-expandable replacement aortic valve is inserted.
What is the cause of Aortic Disease?
There are a variety of causes of aortic disease which include genetic and acquired causes such as BAV and connective tissues for genetic reasons and acquired includes heavy weight lifting, cigarette smoking, and food in the western diet as well as hypertension.
How long will the surgery take?
Operations on the aorta typically take between three to six hours.
How Long Will My Heart Valve Last?
Mechanical valves in some patients last as long as 25 years without any problems where tissue valves in some patients last as long as 15 years without problems.
What Are The Differences Between Mechanical Valves And Tissue Valves?
A mechanical valve has a longer lifetime than a tissue valve but again that comes with the disadvantage of being on blood-thinning medication for the rest of the life to reduce the risk of blood clots. The main advantage of a tissue valve is that it does not typically require life-long blood-thinning medication.
How Soon After Surgery Can I Resume Normal Activity?
Recovery time mainly depends upon the overall physical condition before surgery. The recovery usually takes at least eight weeks to 12 weeks. Some patients recover faster whereas others take longer.
