How do they do Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery?

Aortic valve problems arise when the left ventricle has to work harder than usual, usually in instances when some essential features of the area malfunctions. The aortic heart valve replacement  is needed to cure two serious complications, these are Aortic valve stenosis and Aortic valve regurgitation. The Aortic valve stenosis is caused by narrowing of the gap between heart's lower left chamber and aorta. This narrowing causes the lower left chamber of heart to pump harder to pass sufficient blood to the body. Such cases are mostly marked by the presence of only two flaps (or leaflets) instead of customary three. Aortic valve regurgitation, on the other hand causes a back-flow of blood from the aorta to aortic valve into the left ventricle. When there is a high blood back-flow into the heart, it increases the workload of the left ventricle, causing some serious complications.

When the doctor, through preliminary physical examination and test results diagnoses an acute aortic valve disorder, you would be put on medications and therapies. If these treatment methods do not reap desired results, then you would be recommended to see the best surgeon for heart valve replacement in your locality. The most common heart valve replacement surgical option is open heart surgery. This surgical procedure takes about 2-4 hours, during which your heart is stopped and the functions are put on a heart-lung machine. The surgeon than creates a large incision to remove the diseased valve and replace with an artificial heart valve.  

In the modern times, there are also options to perform minimally invasive as well catheter procedures for heart valve replacement. Apart from this, there some types of  artificial valves to choose from. They can be mechanical or bioprosthetic (made of animal tissue) in nature. People can expect to return back to work within 10-12 weeks after the surgery, depending on their profession.
