Cardiosurgical interventions are among the most frequent operations. With the increase in the number of cardiovascular diseases, heart surgeries are on the rise worldwide. For many patients who are waiting to be operated, as well as for those who have not dared to appear at the cardiologist due to fear, prof. Dr. Salis Taxher, cardiac surgeon at "Acibadem Sistina", answers the most frequently asked questions regarding heart surgery. What is bypass surgery (By-pass)? Aortocoronary bypass is an intervention during which one or more coronary arteries are connected to the blood vessel for a normal functioning of blood circulation in the heart muscle and to supply it with oxygen. During this intervention, a part of the blood vessel (vein or artery) is taken from another part of the body in order to make a bypass or bypass around the blocked part of the coronary artery.
The blood vessel used as a bypass, called a graft, is usually taken from the legs, arms or chest. The patient should know that the number of bypasses does not indicate the severity or severity of the disease. The patient who has had four bypasses is not in a worse health condition than the one who has had one bypass. The importance of the patient's health Nicaragua Email List condition is determined by the condition of the blood vessels in the heart, the function of the left ventricle and other accompanying diseases. What is mitral valve reconstruction? Mitral valve reconstruction or advancement is open heart surgery in cases of valve stenosis (narrowing) or permeability. Most mitral valves can be reconstructed, but if this is not possible, then it is replaced with a mechanical or biological valve. Both types of valves have their advantages and disadvantages.
The decision to place one or the other valve is taken by the cardiac surgeon together with the patient based on several factors such as: the patient's age, other concomitant diseases, lifestyle and individual risk. I have an enlarged aorta, what is the possible solution? In case of surgical intervention, the expanded part of the aorta is replaced with an artificial prosthesis, made of synthetic material. This way the problem is solved forever. If the disease has affected and damaged the aortic valve, then it must be reconstructed or replaced. Will my heart work during the operation? During the operation, blood flow through the heart is stopped in a controlled manner. In this case, the heart is calm, so the surgeon can carefully work on it. The patient is placed in the apparatus for extracorporeal circulation, which takes over the function of the heart and lungs during the intervention.
