Valvuloplasty

Valvuloplasty is a surgical procedure that is used to treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It involves removing and replacing a damaged or worn part of a heart valve or blood vessel.

Valvuloplasty can be performed either open or closed. With the open method, the surgeon makes an incision in the patient's body to gain access to the damaged valve or vessel. The surgeon then removes the damaged part and replaces it with a new one made of fabric or synthetic material.

With closed valvuloplasty, the surgeon uses special tools and equipment to remove the damaged part of the valve or vessel without the need to make an incision. This method is less invasive and less traumatic for the patient.

In some cases, valvuloplasty is performed in conjunction with other surgical procedures, such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), coronary artery stenting, or heart surgery. The goal of valvuloplasty is to improve blood flow and reduce stress on the heart valve or blood vessel, which can lead to an improvement in the patient's overall condition.

Although valvuloplasty has high effectiveness and positive results, it is a major surgical procedure and requires careful preparation and planning. Patients must undergo a thorough examination and consultation with a cardiologist before they are ready for surgery. You also need to consider the possible risks and complications associated with this procedure.

Despite this, valvuloplasty remains one of the most effective methods of treating heart and vascular diseases. It improves the quality of life of patients and prolongs their life.

Valvotomy For this article use this description

A valvulot is an opening (normal or enlarged) between the esophagus and stomach. For some reason, this hole may “close” or, conversely, expand due to atrophy of the esophageal muscles. In this case, you need to correct this with an operation called valvuloplasty. Thus, it is necessary to analyze and do all the necessary research to find out the cause of this problem and begin its prompt elimination through valvoplasty.
