Understanding Aortic Valve Replacement: An Overview
Aortic valve replacement addresses dysfunction in the aortic valve, which controls blood egress from the left ventricle to the aorta. Diseased valves are repaired or substituted with prosthetic devices via surgical or transcatheter methods, thereby normalizing hemodynamics and mitigating ventricular strain.
When Is Aortic Valve Replacement Recommended?
Indicated for aortic stenosis or regurgitation—often congenital or degenerative—this procedure is essential when symptoms manifest or ventricular function deteriorates. It is contraindicated only in prohibitive surgical risk profiles, where alternatives like balloon valvuloplasty may serve as bridges.
The Procedure: What to Expect
General anesthesia precedes cardiopulmonary bypass initiation. Open approaches via sternotomy facilitate direct access, whereas transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) deploys valves percutaneously for high-risk patients. The Ross procedure, relocating the patient’s pulmonary valve, offers a biological alternative in select cases.
Benefits of Aortic Valve Replacement
Restoration of unobstructed outflow alleviates dyspnea and fatigue, averting heart failure while prolonging survival. TAVR variants confer shorter hospital stays and accelerated convalescence.
Risks and Considerations
Complications may include hemorrhage, embolism, or conduction abnormalities, necessitating vigilant perioperative care. Dr. Datta’s proficiency minimizes these through multidisciplinary collaboration.
Recovery and Aftercare
Postoperative monitoring in ICU yields to ambulatory status within days. Rehabilitation protocols emphasize monitored exertion, with serial imaging to affirm prosthetic integrity. Weight restrictions persist for 6 weeks.
