Valvuloplasty
Valvuloplasty is performed, in certain circumstances, to open a stenotic (stiff) heart valve. In valvuloplasty, a very small, narrow, hollow tube, or catheter, is advanced from a blood vessel in the groin through the aorta into the heart. Once the catheter is placed in the valve to be opened, a large balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated until the leaflets (flaps) of the valve are opened. Once the valve has been opened, the balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed…
What is Balloon Valvuloplasty?
Balloon valvuloplasty is a procedure in which a narrowed heart valve is stretched open with a small balloon which is inserted and inflated to stretch and open a narrowed (stenosed) heart valve.
Why is Valvuloplasty performed?
There are four valves in the heart- aortic valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve. These valves are located at the exit of each of the four chambers of the heart and these valves open and close to regulate the blood flow from one chamber to the next and thus are very vital for the efficient functioning of the heart. When these valves become narrow (stenosis) due to hardening and calcium deposits, Valvuloplasty is performed to enlarge the narrowed opening and facilitate the flow of blood through them..
Valvular heart disease may cause the following symptoms: -
dizziness
chest pain
breathing difficulties
palpitations
edema (swelling) of the feet, ankles, or abdomen
rapid weight gain due to fluid retention…
How is Valvulopasty done?
The procedure is performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory and takes up to four hours. The patient is usually awake, but is given local anesthesia to make the area where the catheter is inserted numb. The site where the catheter will be inserted is prepared and anesthetized. The catheter that has a small deflated balloon at the tip is inserted through the skin in the groin area into a blood vessel, and then is threaded up to the opening of the narrowed heart valve. The balloon is inflated, which stretches the valve open. Once the valve is widened, the balloon-tipped catheter is removed..
