BALLOON VALVULOPLASTY
What is Balloon Valvuloplasty ?
Balloon valvuloplasty, sometimes referred to as balloon valvotomy or balloon valvamatry, is a type of minimally invasive surgical cardiac intervention performed to treat narrowed or stenotic heart valves, including aortic, mitral, pulmonary, or tricuspid valves. A catheter with a small balloon on its tip is inserted into a blood vessel through the groin and guided to the narrowed valve. The balloon is then inflated to widen the valve opening, improving blood flow through the heart This allows for better blood flow through the heart. This procedure is far less invasive than open heart valve surgery, and is useful for patients with valve stenosis due to rheumatic heart disease or congenital defects.
Balloon valvuloplasty is done under local anesthesia and is especially profound for patients who are not suitable for surgical valve replacements. It can either be used as an initial treatment, or as a bridge to more advanced surgical valve replacements in the future. The procedure can be performed on valves that are easily manipulable and not calcified. Balloon valvuloplasty can be performed on a range of different heart valves depending on the patients heart condition.
Why Balloon Valvuloplasty is Important ?
Balloon valvuloplasty is a key medical process because it provide a non-surgical approach to address specific forms of heart valve disorders, particularly the narrowing of a valve (stenosis) that restricts blood flow. There are also multiple reasons as to why this procedure is important:
Less invasive: Because balloon valvuloplasty is a catheter-based procedure (rather than open-heart surgery), it is also less invasive. This usually entails threading a catheter with a balloon at the end through a blood vessel to the constricted valve. After inserting the balloon it is inflated to open the valve widely and create a proper flow of blood. By doing so, you reduce the chances of getting complications and also the recovery time becomes less.
Non Surgical Option : Open-heart surgery is not an option for every patient, especially the elderly or other co existing diseases. An alternative is balloon valvuloplasty, which is a much lower risk faster recovery and has a significantly shorter hospital stay.
Effective for Some Valve Diseases : It is specifically useful in the cases of mitral stenosis and aortic stenosis. In both these conditions the the valves stiffen or narrow with age, and blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body is slowed. Balloon valvuloplasty can help restore correct valve function, offering an improvement in quality of life for the patient.
Symptoms Relief : Most of the valvular stenosis patients suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and dizziness. The procedure can help alleviate these symptoms by opening up the narrowed valve, enabling patients to get back to day-to-day activities.
Maintains Valve Function: Balloon valvuloplasty can help to avoid, or at the very least, postpone the need for surgery to replace the valve. This keeps the function of the old valve in place, as well as it is a more permanent solution for patients who are not perfect candidates for surgery.
Reduced Complication Rate : Balloon valvuloplasty carries a lower risk of complications than open surgery (such as infection or bleeding) and may allow for a quicker recovery time and shorter hospital stay.
Balloon valvuloplasty becomes essential in valve diseases as it increases the quality of life for numerous patients and diminishes the risks and recovery time of conventional procedures.
