Aortic valve reconstruction

The aortic valve separates the lower chambers of the heart from the arteries, responsible for the flow of blood in one direction. Entering the heart, normally, blood should enter the arteries and then spread throughout them throughout the body. Damage to the valve leads to abnormal heart function. Valve leaflets may not fully close, causing blood to flow in the opposite direction. Another type of disorder is the insufficient opening of the cusps, which limits blood flow. In any case, the body begins to receive insufficient oxygen, which provokes serious complications:

• Shortness of breath;
• Regular dizziness and weakness;
• Loss of consciousness;
• Chest pain.

In the absence of proper treatment, death can occur. In the early stages of the pathological process, it is possible to use medications that can stabilize the situation. But the more serious the problem, accompanied by the worsening of the patient, the more dangerous it is to delay surgery.

When my aortic valve reconstruction is required?

• Incomplete valve closure.
• Congenital malformation.
• Deformation and mechanical damage.
• Inflammatory processes.
• Stenosis.
• Violation of the valve apparatus.

How and where is heart valve reconstruction performed?

Surgery is indicated in cases where drug therapy does not give the desired effect. Doctors are always aimed at preserving the patient’s heart valves, since in all respects they, of course, are superior to the artificially created ones. Reconstructive surgeries also show higher patient survival, improved physical stamina, a lower percentage of complications, and improved postoperative quality of life. The latest aortic valve reconstruction techniques used in Israeli clinics are operations by David or Jacob. In both cases, the use of a vascular prosthesis and implantation of the main coronary arteries is implied.

The clinic has established quite affordable rates that correspond to the rates of state hospitals. For families who are unable to pay for treatment, Tel Aviv Medical Clinic staff helps to contact charitable foundations for cash support. We employ experienced doctors who have undergone special training, having the necessary skills, knowledge and practice for performing operations on the reconstruction of the aortic valve.
