What is the exchange of mitral valve?
Mitral valve exchange is a surgery for the replacement of damaged mitral flap heart mechanical or biological. Patients receive a general anesthetic and are followed by a heart lung machine that performs a pumping effect of a normal heart beating, because the heart itself must not defeat during surgery. The necessary slices are made to achieve a mitral valve, which is removed and then replaced by sewing in mechanical or biological. Cuts are closed, after which the heart lung machine is disconnected and the natural heart is restarted. If there are no complications during surgery, the whole procedure is generally completed within five hours. While some advanced medical centers offer less invasive methods for exchanging mitral valves, the operation is a general procedure. Mitral Valve, also known as bicuspid valve, is an input valve located in the left chamber, which opens from the left aurica. Regurgitation of mitral valve, also called mitralNCE or mitral insufficiency, when severe, can be treated by performing surgery.
Mechanical replacement includes sewing into the artificial valve made of metal and plastic. Biological replacement refers to the use of an artificial valve made from tissue taken from an animal such as a pig. This tissue is closed in a synthetic circle. The decision to use in the replacement of the mitral valve is determined by several factors. For example, patients who receive mechanical valves must take anticoagulants for an indefinite period, so it may not be the best choice for some people, such as women's age carrying a child.
One of the advantages that the mechanical valves have an EIR thtrival, which practically eliminates the need to undergo a replacement of the mitral valve after successfully done once. Biological valves in general do not last as long as their mechanical counterparts but pAcients who receive them may not take anticoagulants. However, people who have damaged or artificial valves are also recommended to prevent antibiotics from medical, dental or surgical interventions due to a significant increase in the risk of very serious infections. Although the replacement of the mitral valve may not sound like a very intense medical procedure compared to some other procedures that are carried out to repair heart problems, patients may take full recovery for eight weeks.
