People prefer Aortic valve repair surgery in India because it is available at various hospitals where the surgeon and there team dedicated to bring smile on there patience face.

Aortic valve repair in India is a Cardiac Surgery procedure in which a patient’s aortic valve is replaced by a different valve. The aortic valve can be affected by a range of diseases; the valve can either become leaky (aortic insufficiency / Regurgitation) or partially blocked (aortic Stenosis). Aortic valve replacement currently requires Open Heart Surgery. Aortic valve repair is nearly exclusively limited to patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) without a component of stenosis. Patients considered for repair are generally young who wish to avoid anticoagulation and would be expected to outlive a tissue valve should replacement be considered.  In order to perform this operation, the cusps must be thin and flexible without calcifications. Most repairs result in downsizing the effective orifice area in order to increase coaptation with the available cusp area. There is a resultant increase in Aortic Valve Gradient and this must be anticipated when evaluating patients preoperatively. The decision to repair an aortic valve is made by weighing the risk of repair failure versus the benefit of avoidance of oral anticoagulation therapy.

There are two basic types of artificial Heart Valve surgery are available in India: mechanical valves and tissue valves.

Tissue valves: Tissue Heart Valves are usually made from animal tissues, either animal heart valve tissue or animal pericardial tissue. The tissue is treated to prevent rejection and calcification. There are alternatives to animal tissue valves. In some cases a homograft – a human aortic valve – can be implanted. Homograft valves are donated by patients and harvested after the patient dies. The durability of homograft valves is probably the same for porcine tissue valves. Another procedure for aortic valve repair is the Ross procedure (or pulmonary autograft). In a Ross procedure, the aortic valve is removed and replaced with the patient’s own Pulmonary Valve.

Mechanical valves: Mechanical valves are designed to outlast the patient, and have typically been stress-tested to last several hundred years. Although mechanical valves are long-lasting and generally only one surgery is needed, there is an increased risk of blood clots forming with mechanical valves. As a result, mechanical valve recipients must generally take anti-coagulant (blood thinning) drugs such as warfarin for the rest of their lives, which makes the patient more prone to bleeding.

Valve selection: Tissue valves tend to wear out faster with increased flow demands – such as with a more active (typically younger) person. Tissue valve typically last 10-15 years in less active (typically elderly) patients, but wear out faster in younger patients. When a tissue valve wears out and needs replacement, the person must undergo another Valve Replacement Surgery. For this reason, younger patients are often recommended mechanical valves to prevent the increased risk (and inconvenience) of another valve replacement.

Surgical procedure:

In India, surgeons went through lots of research about aortic valve repair surgery and practiced with some great surgeons in US, UK. Aortic valve replacement is most frequently done through a median sternotomy, meaning the incision is made by cutting through the sternum. Once the pericardium has been opened, the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass machine, also referred to as the heart-lung machine. This machine takes over the task of breathing for the patient and pumping their blood around while the surgeon replaces the heart valve.

Once the patient is on bypass, an incision is made in the aorta and a crossclamp applied. The surgeon then removes the patient’s diseased aortic valve and a mechanical or tissue valve is put in its place. Once the valve is in place and the aorta has been closed, the patient is taken off the heart-lung machine. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE, an ultra-sound of the heart done through the esophagus) can be used to verify that the new valve is functioning properly. Pacing wires are usually put in place, so that the heart can be manually paced should any complications arise after surgery. Drainage tubes are also inserted to drain fluids from the chest and pericardium following surgery. These are usually removed within 36 hours while the pacing wires are generally left in place until right before the patient is discharged from the hospital.

Cardiopulmonary Bypass:

Cardiopulmonary surgeons in India are very well experienced in aortic valve repair surgery. The described from the expertise are:

Cardiopulmonary bypass is established with a distal ascending aorta arterial cannula and a double-state venous cannula via the right atrium. The patient is kept normothermic. The Left Ventricle is vented via a right superior pulmonary vein approach. Cardioplegia is first administered retrograde via a Coronary sinus catheter and subsequent antegrade cardioplegia can be administered directly into the coronary ostia via a soft ostial cannula.

Hospital stay and recovery time:

Surgeons in India, suggest for the patients of aortic valve repair surgery. Immediately after aortic valve replacement, the patient will frequently stay in a cardiac surgery intensive care unit for 12-36 hours. Total time spent in hospital following surgery is usually between 4 and 10 days, unless complications arise.

Recovery from aortic valve replacement will take 1-3 months if the patient is in good health. Patients are advised not to do any heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks.

Outcome and Risk of procedure:

Surgeons of India, describe some of the risk and outcomes of aortic repair surgery. The risk of death or serious complications from aortic valve replacement is typically quoted as being between 1-5%, depending on the health and age of the patient, as well as the skill of the surgeon. Older patients, as well as more fragile ones, are sometimes ineligible for surgery because of elevated risks.

Hospitals in India at Kerala, Agra, Delhi and Goa serve patients with excellent quality by providing the finest clinical integration of patient care and respecting to the customer satisfaction under efficient management and provide intensive follow up care and monitor progress to make sure the outcome of surgery meets with patients expectation.

Aortic Root Surgery: The Biological Solution $132.99 The surgical treatment of the aortic valve and root disease, organic and ischemic mitral regurgitation, and endocarditis has made great strides. Still, there is the well-known dilemma: on the one hand the need for anticoagulation in patients with mechanical valves that otherwise guarantee long-term functioning and, on the other, the unpredictable durability of biological substitutes and of valve repair procedures which, per se, do not require anticoagulation. The choice of procedure is determined by factors such as patients’ age, metabolic and bleeding disorders, and bleeding preconditions, as well as such critical issues as the desire to bear children in young women. The book contains a collection of proceedings of The Berlin Heart Valve Symposium 2008 and The Berlin Mitral Valve Repair Symposium at the joint meeting of the Society for Heart Valve Disease and the Heart Valve Society of America in June 2009. It will be attended by internationally renowned experts who will focus on current surgical approaches to and evolving trends in aortic and mitral valve repair, aortic root and valve replacement with pulmonary autograft, aortic allograft, stentless and stented bioprostheses. Further contributions will deal with recent advances in catheter-based percutaneous and transapical techniques, ablation techniques for atrial fibrillation, tissue engineering of heart valves, multi-modality imaging, and anticoagulation.

Adam’s Heart: An Inspiring Story about One Man’s Fight Against Heart Disease $10.95 In the inspirational autobiography Adam”s Heart, author Adam Robinson shares his life-changing ordeal with heart disease.At the age of twenty-four, author Adam Robinson went in for a routine physical and was told that he had a heart condition. After deciding that it was better to put off the surgery to allow for advances in technology, Adam didn”t think much about his condition until he suffered from a heart attack at age twenty-nine. Days later he had open-heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. Adam recovered quickly and his heart was repaired-but not his mind. For many years Adam was on disability income, depressed and obese, and was in a tremendous amount of pain. But he finally made the conscious decision to get physically fit. He is now learning how to control the old habits that were harming his body, such as eating lots of fast food, drinking too much soda, and too many trips to the popular all-you-can-eat buffet lines.Even though he sometimes struggles to maintain his fitness regimen, Adam is strong in mind, body, and sprit. He has vowed to continue the fight to keep healthy, not only for himself, but also for the ones that he loves.
