Aortic valve (AV) Replacement Surgery in Turkey
Aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement are procedures that treat diseases affecting the aortic valve, one of four valves that control blood flow through the heart.
If the aortic valve does not function properly it can interfere with blood flow and cause the heart to work harder to deliver blood to the rest of the body. Repairing the aortic valve or replacing the aortic valve can treat aortic valve disease and help restore normal blood flow , reduce symptoms, prolong life and help preserve your heart muscle function.
The decision to repair or replace a damaged aortic valve depends on many things, including:
- The severity of your aortic valve disease
- Your age and overall health
- Whether you need heart surgery to correct another heart problem in addition to aortic valve disease, such as heart bypass surgery to treat coronary artery disease, so both conditions can be treated at once
After aortic valve repair or aortic valve replacement surgery, you may eventually be able to return to daily activities, such as working, driving and exercise.
