Valvular interventions include a spectrum of procedures aimed at addressing issues within the heart's valves. These intricate procedures offer solutions for conditions such as valve stenosis or regurgitation, which can compromise cardiac function. By employing both surgical and minimally invasive techniques, medical experts restore valve efficiency, ensuring optimal blood flow and reducing strain on the heart.
Valvular interventions target the following valves to restore and optimise heart function:
The mitral valve is positioned between the heart's left atrium and ventricle.
Regurgitation causes blood to flow backward, burdening the heart. Stenosis narrows the valve, obstructing blood flow and impacting circulation.
Skilled surgeons repair or replace the valve based on severity. Minimally invasive techniques repair valve structures or implant prosthetic valves, promoting optimal blood flow and reducing stress on the heart.
Between the heart's left ventricle and the aorta.
Stenosis restricts blood flow from the heart, while regurgitation leads to blood leakage, challenging cardiac efficiency.
Surgical replacement involves removing the damaged valve and implanting a prosthetic one. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) offers a minimally invasive alternative, threading a new valve through a catheter, sparing patients from extensive surgery.
Between the heart's right atrium and ventricle.
Regurgitation prompts blood to flow backward, hindering efficient circulation and straining the heart.
Skilled medical teams repair or replace the valve to alleviate regurgitation's impact, enhancing circulation and reducing stress on the heart.
Pulmonary Between the heart's right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
Stenosis restricts blood flow to the lungs, while regurgitation causes blood to leak backwards, impeding optimal circulation.
Surgical correction widens or replaces the valve. Transcatheter interventions insert a new valve through a catheter, offering a less invasive option to ensure proper valve function and support healthy circulation.
Advancements in transcatheter techniques, personalised treatment plans, and precision tools are redefining valvular care. These innovations offer less invasive alternatives, guided by advanced imaging, and ensuring improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life.
