Advanced Treatment with Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty
Welcome to Cardio Plus Heart Care, where pioneering heart health treatments meet compassionate care. Under the direction of Dr. Jignesh Patel, we specialize in innovative procedures such as Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty, designed to improve the lives of patients with mitral valve stenosis.
What Is Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty?
For patients diagnosed with mitral valve stenosis, high-risk aortic stenosis, or specific blockages of the pulmonary valve, balloon valvuloplasty can offer significant benefits. This procedure involves the use of specialized balloon catheters to alleviate valvular obstructions. A balloon is carefully inserted into the heart through the femoral vein in the groin area and then inflated temporarily across the narrowed valve. The primary aim of balloon valvuloplasty is to improve blood flow across the mitral valve, thereby relieving symptoms and enhancing cardiac function.
How Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty Works?
During balloon valvuloplasty, we begin by administering light intravenous pain medication and a local anesthetic at the insertion site for the catheter. Next, we guide the catheter, which has a deflated balloon at its tip, through an artery in the groin area and navigate it to the heart. Once in place, we inflate the balloon to widen the narrowed valve. After the valve has been expanded sufficiently, we deflate and remove the balloon. This stretching of the valve opening typically leads to increased blood flow and alleviates symptoms.
This procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, sparing patients from the need for open heart surgery. Following the procedure, patients usually stay in the hospital for at least one night for observation and post-procedure care.Top of Form
What are the benefits of balloon mitral valvuloplasty?
- Symptom Relief: Most patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms and overall quality of life.
- Non-surgical Option: As a minimally invasive procedure, it involves shorter recovery times and less risk than open-heart surgery.
- Improved Cardiac Function: By enlarging the valve opening, this treatment helps to restore more normal cardiac function and reduce the strain on the heart.
