A surgery called coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is used to enhance the heart's inadequate blood supply.
Four valves in the heart ensure that blood is moving through the body properly. A valve or valves may occasionally open or close improperly. This may interrupt the blood flow from your heart to the rest of your body.
When the aortic valve of the heart narrows, it is known as aortic stenosis or aortic valve stenosis. Aorta, your body's primary artery, and the rest of your body experience reduced or blocked blood flow from your heart as a result of the valve's partial opening.
The extent of your disease determines how you will be treated. Surgery can be required to fix or replace the valve. Severe aortic valve stenosis can cause mortality if left untreated.
Symptoms
Mild to severe aortic valve stenosis can occur. When the valve is severely narrowed, signs and symptoms typically appear. Aortic valve stenosis may go years without showing any symptoms in some persons.
Aortic valve stenosis symptoms and signs include:
- Through a stethoscope, an abnormal heart sound (heart murmur) can be heard.
- Angina or tightness in the chest when exercising
- feeling lightheaded, woozy, or dizzy when active
- Breathing problems, especially after being active
- Especially at times of high exertion, fatigue
- Palpitations: a fluttering, rapid heartbeat
- inadequate dietary intake, particularly in children with aortic valve stenosis
- inadequate weight gain, particularly in children with aortic valve stenosis
The stenosis of the aortic valve can cause heart failure. Fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling ankles and feet are some of the indications and symptoms of heart failure.
Aortic stenosis patients who are older than 60 years old frequently have coronary artery disease, necessitating simultaneous coronary bypass surgery and aortic valve replacement.It does make the entire process time-consuming and complex.It's crucial to have knowledge and experience with this level of intricacy.Dr. Pavankumar is a skilled surgeon with experience in this type of difficult double heart procedure.
