Emergency Aortic Valve & Aortic Aneurysm Surgery with Dr. Christopher Mehta
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2021
- www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - While the majority of heart valve repair and replacement operations are scheduled, select patients may require an emergency surgery.
Emergency surgery may be needed for patients with critical aortic valve disease including aortic stenosis which is commonly referred to as the "silent killer".
Furthermore, the presence of an aortic aneurysm, which is often associated with aortic valve disease, may accelerate the need for an emergency procedure considering the life-threatening risks of an aortic dissection or aorta rupture.
To learn more about emergency cases associated with aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysms, we interviewed Dr. Christopher Mehta, a leading cardiac surgeon at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois.
Questions asked-and-answered in this video with Dr. Mehta include:
1. What is aortic valve disease? What are the symptoms and risks?
2. How does aortic valve disease progress?
3. Is aortic valve disease associated with other cardiac disorders? If so, which ones?
4. What is the relationship between aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysms?
5. Can other cardiac conditions (aortic aneurysms, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation) lead to emergencies for aortic stenosis patients?
6. What should patients do to avoid emergency surgery?
7. What is Dr. Mehta's number one piece of advice for patients with aortic valve disease and an aortic aneurysm to avoid an emergency?

Am learning so much from this video my 16 year old son is due for an aortic valve replacement, thanks alot
Grace, That's wonderful to hear. If you need anything else, you can always visit our website to learn more about aortic valve disease and aortic valve replacements. The link is www.heart-valve-surgery.com. So you know, we are hosting a patient webinar all about aortic valve replacement tomorrow, Thursday, July 1. You can learn more at register.gotowebinar.com/register/8316942763367593999. Hope that helps!
I was diagnosed with a bi cuspid aortic valve that was closing up. It was heavily calcified. I was short of breath and tired all the time. I also had the aneurysm. I got worked on in January. They put a bovine valve and removed my aorta and put in a synthetic graft. I'm still recovering. But the alternative was not getting the surgery and just waiting for my aneurysm to blow and I would have died. Now I feel somewhat normal. And I can do more now than pre surgery and getting stronger as the days go by.
Great to hear you are on the mend! Fyi, you had a surgery similar Bono from U2 - th-cam.com/video/1D2MyMbvzdA/w-d-xo.html.

Thank you Adam and Dr. Christopher Mehta, we learn so much from your videos.
Hey John! Glad you like the videos. Thanks! Adam
Absolutely facinating. Glad to know there are ways to address all the valve issues that may occur over the course of a lifetime. Also that there is hope, even in the most dire of situations. Science and medicine are progressing in exciting ways Adam!! Thanks for all the information. I take notes, write down names of the great docs you interview and where to find them. So thanks for everything! Take care, stay safe!👍😊
Margie, Thanks so much for the kind words! Great to hear this video with Dr. Christopher Mehta educated and empowered you! Woo-Whoo!!!!
Thank you for this informative video!
You are so welcome Oanh!!!
Thank you…
Sure thing Les! If you need anything else, please let us know!
How fast can aortic stenosis progress if it’s already started to calcify?
Many thanks
I have bicuspid aortic valve and aneurysm at ascending aorta 45 mm in size based on my echo. Mild stenosis and regurgitation as well. What is the recommended therapy for me. I am 33 years old
I have to go for a assessment on the 7th of march i am scard of this surgery
I had it two weeks ago tomorrow and am already walking 2-3 miles a day. Get it done as soon as they can schedule it is my advice. I'm already better and expect to be running 10Ks and paragliding again in another 5 months. Best of luck.
Im so scared.
Hi there. I have a question. I have bicuspid valve and now have developed mild stenosis ( monitored over a year ago now) my cardiologist only see’s me every 18months and I am worried that this is too long to wait for follow ups on the progression of my stenosis?
On average you lose about 0.3 centimeters a year
