Mr. Alexander Delpalma
I am grateful that I visited Bumrungrad Hospital for my cardiac issue. It is such a great hospital to come to. Highly recommended.
Balloon valvuloplasty is the procedure which stretches the aortic valve and improves the symptoms of aortic stenosis, in this procedure a thin catheter is inserted into the artery in your dye and a special dye is used which is shows the images on x rays.
Patients who have been diagnosed with mitral valve stenosis; have high-risk aortic stenosis can go for this procedure and it is relatively safe procedure as well as a blind procedure and is associated with various complications.
Balloon mitral valvuloplasty usually lasts for five to seven years and it is very safe to repeat the procedure.
Balloon valvuloplasty is not a major surgery it is a minimally incasive procedure which repairs the narrowed heart valve in patients with mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis and pulmonary stenosis.
A balloon valvloplasty procedure will take around 2 hours to complete under local or general anaesthesia with sedation.
Balloon valvuloplasty is being done by a cardiac surgeon or a cardiologist.
In balloon valvuloplasty the catheter is inserted in the heart and then it is guided to the narrowed valve after that the balloon is inflated which expands on opening of the valve.
It will take around 2 to 6 hours after the procedure to discharge you after surgery or in some cases you have to stay in hospital for whole night.
Some of the complications after balloon valvloplasty procedure are bleeding at the catheter site, blood clot, blood loss or infection.
You will be given special instructions by the doctor, he may recommend the right diet for the patient. The doctor may advise not to participate in any extreme strenuous activities.
