Annuloplasty

Anuloplasty is a surgical operation on the heart, the purpose of which is to restore the normal shape and function of the valve ring.

The valve ring is a fibrous formation to which the heart valve leaflets are attached. Violation of the shape of the valve ring leads to valve insufficiency and blood regurgitation.

Anuloplasty is indicated for:

1. Mitral regurgitation due to dilatation of the mitral valve annulus fibrosus

2. Tricuspid regurgitation due to dilation of the tricuspid valve

3. Aortic insufficiency due to prolapse or dilatation of the aortic ring

During surgery, the surgeon reduces the size of the deformed valve ring using suture material. This allows you to restore the correct shape of the ring and prevent regurgitation of blood through the valve.

Anuloplasty is usually performed in combination with other valve procedures, such as valve replacement or valve repair. This is an effective procedure that can significantly improve the function of the heart valves.

Anuloplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct deformities and restore the shape of the chest. It involves removing part of the costal cartilage and replacing it with artificial materials such as plastic or metal.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 3-4 hours. After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for several days to monitor his condition and make sure there are no complications.

Anuloplasty can be performed both for congenital defects of the chest and for injuries or other diseases that lead to deformation of the chest. The purpose of the operation is to restore the normal shape of the chest and improve the patient's breathing.

One of the advantages of annuloplasty is that it can correct chest defects without the need for implants. This may be especially important for patients who are allergic to implant materials or who do not want to use them.

However, like any surgical procedure, annuloplasty has its risks and complications. Some of these may include infection, bleeding, organ and tissue damage, and breathing problems.

In general, anuloplasty is an effective method for correcting chest deformities and improving the quality of life of patients. It has several advantages over other treatment methods, such as implants, and can be recommended for patients with appropriate indications.
