2024年6月6日 · Surgical options for valve replacement include: Mechanical valve — a long-lasting valve made of durable materials; Tissue valve — may include human or animal donor tissue; Ross Procedure — “Borrowing” your healthy valve and moving it into the position of the damaged valve aortic valve and replacing the “borrowed” valve with a new ...

2024年5月24日 · Infective endocarditis is an infection caused by bacteria that enter the bloodstream and settle in the heart lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel. Learn about infective endocarditis and how it can affect your heart valves.

2024年6月6日 · People with high risks and severe aortic valve tightness may be good candidates for a less invasive repair or an alternative treatment called a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

Heart valve surgery is done to replace or repair heart valves that aren’t working correctly. Most valve replacements involve the aortic and mitral valves. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle (your heart’s main pumping chamber) and the aorta (the major artery that carries blood to your body from the heart). The mitral valve ...

2024年6月7日 · The Ross Procedure is often very effective for treating damaged aortic valves. The aortic valve handles all the blood being pumped back out to the body. The patient’s pulmonary valve is similarly shaped and can usually be “swapped out” with the damaged aortic valve. What happens to the missing pulmonary valve after the swap?

2024年5月30日 · It's generally best to repair a valve and preserve a person’s own heart tissue when possible. However, when the tissue is too damaged, a replacement valve may be used from another human heart, an animal or a manufactured mechanical valve. Repair Procedure: Balloon Valvuloplasty. View an animation of valvuloplasty.

2024年6月7日 · TAVR or TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. The new valve is placed inside the diseased valve. Patients who cannot tolerate surgery for aortic valve replacement may be good candidates for a less invasive approach called TAVI or TAVR.
