Valvular Intervention

Valvular Intervention refers to advanced medical procedures performed to repair or replace one or more of the heart's valves when they are not functioning properly. Heart valves ensure proper blood flow through the heart, and when damaged, they can severely affect overall heart function and health.

Types of Heart Valve Diseases Treated

  • Aortic Valve Stenosis or Regurgitation
  • Mitral Valve Stenosis or Regurgitation
  • Tricuspid Valve Disorders
  • Pulmonary Valve Defects

Causes

  • Congenital Defects – Present from birth.
  • Age-Related Degeneration – Natural wear and tear.
  • Infections – Like rheumatic fever or infective endocarditis.
  • Heart Conditions – Heart attacks or cardiomyopathy can impact valve function.

Symptoms

  • Shortness of breath (especially during activity)
  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
  • Swollen ankles or feet
  • Fainting or dizziness

Valvular Intervention Procedures

  • Balloon Valvuloplasty
    A catheter-based procedure used to widen a narrowed heart valve using a balloon.
  • Transcatheter Valve Replacement (TAVR/TAVI)
    A minimally invasive alternative to surgical valve replacement, often used for aortic valve disease.
  • Valve Repair Surgery
    Involves fixing the patient’s own valve instead of replacing it – ideal for mitral or tricuspid valves.
  • Valve Replacement Surgery
    Damaged valves are replaced with mechanical or biological prosthetic valves via open-heart surgery.
  • MitraClip® Procedure
    A catheter-based technique used to clip together parts of the mitral valve to reduce leakage.

Prevention & Care

  • Regular cardiac check-ups
  • Managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Timely treatment of throat infections to avoid rheumatic fever
  • Avoiding IV drug use
  • Dental hygiene to prevent infective endocarditis
