Aortic Valve replacement without surgery
Aortic valve replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased aortic valve with either a mechanical or biological substitute. Mechanical valves offer durability but require lifelong blood-thinning medication. Biological valves, sourced from human or animal tissues, eliminate the need for long-term anticoagulation.
This procedure enhances cardiac function, alleviates symptoms like chest pain and breathlessness, and improves overall quality of life for patients with aortic valve issues.
The choice between mechanical and biological valves depends on factors like age, lifestyle, and individual health considerations.
Features
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or diseased aortic valve with a prosthetic valve. The aortic valve is one of the four valves in the heart, and it separates the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber) from the aorta (the large artery that carries oxygenated blood to the rest of the body).
Benefits
The Aortic valve replacement improves blood flow, alleviates symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath, enhances overall heart function, and enhances quality of life in individuals with aortic valve disorders.
