[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta, the largest artery of the human heart. It controls the blood flow. Its main function is to hinder backflow of the blood to the ventricle once it is pumped out by the heart. The aortic valve may become dysfunctional due to stenosis or insufficiency. In these cases, the treatment options are the aortic valve repair or replacement.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Aortic Valve Stenosis and Insufficiency” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Aort kapak darl\u0131\u011f\u0131, do\u011fu\u015ftan gelen bir hastal\u0131kta olabilir, sonradan da kazan\u0131labilir.

Aortic valve stenosis can be either congenital or acquired later. The most common abnormality occurs when the aortic valve has only two leaflets, instead of three. Due to the abnormality, the left ventricle works harder to sustain the blood flow; which leads to thickening of the muscle. In the long run, this thickening may create cardiac insufficiency. Aortic valve insufficiency usually develops without showing symptoms for a long while. In the advanced stages, symptoms like breath shortness, fatigue\/exhaustion, chest pain and fainting. These symptoms show that the disease is in the advanced stage. Rarely, the aortic valve insufficiency may be the cause of sudden deaths. It is a disease that can be treated surgically. The aortic valve insufficiency occurs when some of the blood pumped to the aorta flows back to the left ventricle, increasing the workload of the ventricle. Breath shortness is the earliest symptom of the disease. In the advanced stages, chest pain is the most common and evident complaint of the patients.<\/p>\n

Patients with severe aortic insufficiency must be operated as quickly as possible.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Aortic Valve Repair or Replacement” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]n aortic valve insufficiency, the surgery technique to be employed must be selected according to the medical state of the patient. In patients with relatively lower risks, the classical aortic valve surgery is preferred. In this technique, the surgery can be performed through a small incision, again depending on the state of the patient. In older patients, whose aortic valve is severely calcified, the sutureless AVR (as an alternative to TAVI) is employed, in order to shorten the operation duration and accelerate the healing process for the patient. Generally, in this method, small incisions are made on the chest and under the clavicle (collar bone). As the operation duration is shorter and the incision is small, the patient recovers more quickly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Patient Care at Home Following an Open-Heart Surgery” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left|color:%23af0000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” link=”|||”][vc_column_text]After the discharge your doctor will prescribe oral medication.
