The hospital offers heart valve surgeries using modern and minimally invasive intervention methods. These methods achieve good results and reduce the patient’s recovery time.
Heart valve surgery can be performed in two ways:
An open operation is performed under general anesthesia, the patient is made an incision in the chest so that the surgeon has access to the heart. Then, the surgeon opens the chest and cuts off the heart from circulation by connecting it to a heart-lung machine (ABC) to maintain the body’s blood supply. Next, the surgeon removes the valve and replaces it with an artificial or biological valve that can be stitched or secured in place.
The surgeon then checks that the new valve opens and closes correctly. Then the patient is disconnected from artificial circulation, the chest is sutured, and the patient is transferred to the ward. After a traditional operation, the patient needs inpatient observation for 7-10 days and rehabilitation for 2-3 months.
A minimally invasive operation is performed under general anesthesia and is performed without opening the chest. The surgeon makes a small incision in the sternum or under the collarbone and inserts a special catheter through it with a balloon and a valve at the end. The catheter moves through the vessels to the site of the damaged valve. The surgeon then inflates the balloon, which expands the walls of the vessel and installs a new valve. The surgeon then removes the catheter and stitches the incision. After a minimally invasive operation, the patient needs hospitalization for 3-5 days and rehabilitation for 1-2 months.
At Hisar Hospital, cardiac surgery is performed by experienced cardiac surgeons of the highest category. The choice of surgical method depends on the type and extent of valve damage, the age and state of the patient, as well as the experience and recommendations of the surgeon.
