- www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - During this LIVE and FREE webinar that had over 436 patient registrations, you will learn the newest research and treatments for bicuspid aortic valves. In addition, you will learn how minimally-invasive therapies and clinical trials are transforming bicuspid aortic valve care. Guest speakers include Dr. Jyothy Puthumana, cardiologist and medical director of the Bicuspid Aortic Valve Program at Northwestern Medicine, and Dr. Chris Malaisrie, cardiac surgeon and director of the Aorta Program at Northwestern Medicine. This special webinar was hosted by Adam Pick, a leading patient advocate who founded HeartValveSurgery.com in 2006.
Patient questions addressed during the webinar include:
1. What is a Bicuspid Aortic Valve? What are the symptoms, the causes and the risks of Bicuspid Aortic Valves?
2. How are new diagnostic technologies enhancing the management and treatment of Bicuspid Aortic Valves?
3. What is the connection between Bicuspid Aortic Valves and other cardiac disorders including aortic aneurysms?
4. What new surgical techniques have been developed to treat patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valves?
5. Can minimally-invasive therapies (e.g. TAVR) treat patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valves?
6. What important advice does Dr. Malaisrie and Dr. Puthuman have for Bicuspid Aortic Valve patients?
At the close of the webinar, a live "Questions & Answers" session enabled patients to ask Dr. Malaisrie and Dr. Puthumana questions about bicuspid aortic valves.
Thank you for posting this webinar. I'm 34 and was diagnosed this week with a bicuspid aortic valve. My anxiety has been high since I was told about this, but this video has helped reasure me that it's not a death sentence.
It's not a death sentence, I was diagnosed with the same thing at the age of 44 but I had a significant aneurysm at the time. Almost one year later I had my surgery to replace the aneurysm but my native valve was kept, that was six years ago and I feel great today and I do everything I did before.
@@chrisdiesenbruch7201 I'm 46. Just found out. What were your symptoms? Thank you
@@nickbardan3867 I had no symptoms my BAV in my aneurysm where discovered on a routine test. As my arteries were clear and my valve was in good shape I had no symptoms
@@chrisdiesenbruch7201 thank you for replying. Do you work out ? Strength training, cardio ? Is it safe ? I didn't speak with doctors about it. My blood pressure is always on the low side
@@nickbardan3867 well I'm not a doctor so I can't say for sure as each case is individual but for me I was told post-surgery I can do anything I wanted. My blood pressure is good and everything came out great with my surgery but obviously it depends on your situation. I still work out and ride a bicycle and stuff like that and do a little bit of strength training but nothing heavy duty but that's not because of my surgery that's more General busyness and little bit of laziness I guess?
Apparently I have the rarest of the bicuspid valves, the one with the two equal leaflets. I'm not sure but I'm thinking that is the reason why my flow and gradient levels are very good, comparable to a normal trileaflet valve. I had no calcification as of 5 years ago so when I had surgery to fix my aortic aneurysm, performed by Dr. Joseph Bavaria of the University of Pennsylvania, he kept my native BAV and just fixed the slight Trace leakage and replaced the aneurysm with a graft. It's very interesting to see these webinars. Thanks
Very excellent webinar! Thank you Adam and Drs. Malaisrie and Puthumana. I am 55 years old and have a bicuspid valve and aneurism of 5.1cms and have just been told by a cardiologist that I should start getting ready for replacement surgery. I have to (with doctors) decide on the mechanical vs. tissue valve. Maybe doing the tissue with a future TAVR procedure could be a good option in order to not have to undergo a second open heart procedure in the future. I'm in good shape with good BP and other indicators and kind of hope to be around for another 25 years or so, God willing! Thank you if anyone has any advice on valves. Great information in the webinar. Can't thank you enough!
hello peter..can't the valve be repaired? must it be replaced?
@34:30 they're talking about some research about tissue deterioration of the aortic root, which may be caused by non-laminair bloodflow due to bicuspid valves. What is the article/university/researcher's name?
I'd like to know more about it as I recently had surgery and my aortic root tissue has been preserved for examination. (for research on biomarkers which could probably tell more about the aortic root's elasticity and tissue quality .
Nice
My todecho result say that there is abnormal color flow across the 3 valve except in aortic valve. What does it means?
I had surgery four years ago to replace my aortic valve. Was told the rest of my heart was extra strong. Have not taken any drugs and feel fine. I do have a little pain that comes and goes. It’s on the right side and it’s close to the middle upper chest. What could that be
What are symptons I have symptons but they cant figure it out cause I havent passed out
High to everyone! I am diagnosed with BAV and Ascentic Aortic Aneurysm of 4,6 cm. I would like to ask if there is any endovascular surgery procedure taking place or evolving as we speak, instead of an open procedure such as David, Bentall or Ross that go on nowadays. It would be interesting to know if there is one. Thanks a lot in advance and many thumbs up to the channel holders. God bless you all. My regards, John from Greece.
I can understand you wanting to do a less invasive surgery but , speaking as a layperson here, I'm not sure they can get as good of result compared to actually getting in there. I had the same thoughts before my aortic aneurysm was replaced back in 2015 but I ended up going with OHS I'm happy
I did. Of course this is a personal decision and also something for your surgeon to discuss with you but I wish you the best of luck
@@chrisdiesenbruch7201 The OHS is a scare factor indeed.... I think i ll worry about that when the time comes. Thanx for the answer Chris!
What is the other option apart from surgery while needed a valve replacement
Hi Omelia, Are you referring to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). If so, you can learn more about it at www.heart-valve-surgery.com/tavr-procedure.php/.
