♥Structural Heart Interventions
🩺Overview
Structural heart procedures like balloon valvuloplasty and TAVR are minimally invasive methods to treat valve diseases without open-heart surgery, especially beneficial for elderly or high-risk patients.
🔬Procedure
- Imaging tests (like echocardiography or CT) are performed to assess the valve.
- A catheter is inserted through the femoral artery to reach the heart.
- In ballooning, a balloon is inflated to widen a narrowed valve.
- In TAVR, a replacement valve is placed inside the damaged valve.
✅Advantages
- Minimally invasive with faster recovery
- Ideal for high-risk or elderly patients
- Improves symptoms and quality of life
- Reduces hospital stay duration
🏥Aftercare & Recovery
- Close monitoring post-procedure for bleeding or rhythm issues
- Antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy as prescribed
- Follow-up imaging to assess valve function
- Lifestyle changes and cardiac rehab if needed
