Inova Heart Center | About Heart Valves And Heart Valve Disease
What is aortic valve disease? The aortic valve is located at What causesaortic valve disease? Aortic valve stenosis and/or regurgitation
http://www.inova.org/heart/aortic.html

Extractions: The aortic valve is located at the junction of the left ventricle and the origin of the ascending aorta. The valve has three leaflets or cusps, a ring of tissue surrounding the valve leaflets (called the annulus) and structures called the Sinuses of Valsalva which are pouches between the leaflets and the wall of the aorta. What causes aortic valve disease? Aortic valve stenosis and/or regurgitation may be the result of a number of conditions that affect the valve leaflets and/or the valvular annulus (ring). A variety of conditions can cause aortic valve disease. They include: Congenital malformations (malformations present at birth) are a common cause of aortic valve disease. The most common cause is a bicuspid aortic valve (the valve has two, instead of three cusps or leaflets) that causes stenosis (narrowing). This malformation is rarely symptomatic at birth, but turbulent blood flow across the tighter opening causes fibrosis (excess tissue), stiffening and calcification of the valve that eventually leads to symptoms by the sixth decade of life. Although it is less common with a bicuspid valve, aortic regurgitation may also be present.
Inova Heart Services | Cardiac Valve Repair And Replacement
What are the surgical options for aortic valve disease? Aortic replacement The surgicaltechnique of choice for aortic valve disease is aortic replacment.
http://www.inova.org/heart/aortic2.html

Extractions: The cardiac surgeons at the Inova Heart Center have worked diligiently to refine their techniques for heart valve surgery. At present, patients can benefit from a variety of possible interventions. Decisions regarding the timing and selection of the procedure (repair or replacement) are determined on an individual basis and are influenced by the extent of the valve disease and damage to coronary anatomy, age of the patient, past medical history, symptoms and patient's lifestyle. In addition, patients are considered for surgery before symptoms become severe and permanent heart damage (secondary to the valve disorder) develops. Aortic repair aortic valve has a precise chosing mechanism. For this reason, techniques to repair aortic valves, as compared to replacing them, are less common. However, patients who are unable to tolerate anticoagulants or undergo a second heart valve surgery may receive temporary benefits from balloon valvuloplasty (performed by a cardiologist in the cardiac catheterization laboratory), or surgical debridement of calcium particles on the valve under direct visualization.

High Cholesterol And Calcification Are To Blame For Aortic Valve Disease
High cholesterol and calcification are to blame for aortic valve disease. No medicaltherapy has been proven to alter the progression of aortic valve disease.
http://www.globaltechnoscan.com/12thJune-18thJune02/cholesterol.htm

Extractions: High cholesterol and calcification are to blame for aortic valve disease High cholesterol levels can lead to fatty deposits in the aortic valve. These deposits may induce undifferentiated cells to transform to bone-forming cells that calcify and narrow the aortic valve, according to researchers. Narrowing of the aortic valve is a common condition that causes the heart to have to squeeze harder to support normal blood flow, causing the heart muscle to enlarge and eventually fail. A study published today in Circulation authored by researchers at Northwestern and the Mayo Clinic is the first to explain the mechanism responsible for this process. Contact: Amanda Widtfeldt

http://216.185.102.50/Heart_and_Stroke_A_Z_Guide/adultchd/adultchd_avsi.html

Extractions: What It Is The aortic valve lets blood flow from the heart's left ventricle into the aorta. (The aorta is the main artery and distributes oxygen-rich blood throughout the body.) The aortic valve closes after each heartbeat, to keep blood from leaking back into the left ventricle. A normal aortic valve has three leaflets or cusps (tricuspid). Aortic valves abnormal from birth usually have two leaflets (bicuspid), but other variations occur. Only about 2 percent of the population have biscuspid valves. Most bicuspid valves work normally for a long time - sometimes a lifetime. But some can become thick and narrowed (stenotic) or curled at the edges and leaky (insufficient). Surgical Treatment If the valve becomes very stenotic, severe pressure builds up in the left ventricle, which can injure the heart. When this occurs, the valve must be opened either 1) in the catheterization lab with a balloon valvotomy catheter or 2) in the operating room by open-heart surgery. You may have had one or both of these procedures as an infant or child. Valvotomy by either technique doesn't repair the valve. Instead, it helps to lessen the stenosis and pressure in the left ventricle. Some valve leakage is likely to develop after balloon or surgical valvotomy. If your aortic valve no longer responds to valvotomy or has become severely insufficient (leaky), it will probably need to be replaced.

http://www.hoag.org/Heart/ValveDiseaseProcedures.html

Extractions: Drs. Raney, Zusman and Joyo try to use repair techniques whenever possible. Although repair cannot always be done, the precise information obtained from a TEE allows the cardiologist and surgeon to determine with a high level of confidence if valve repair techniques can be utilized in each individual case. Valve Replacement Surgery Mechanical (metal) valve A bioprosthesis valve made from animal tissue (porcine or bovine) A human valve (homograft) that has been prepared and frozen At Hoag Hospital, all three valve types are available. Each prosthetic valve has advantages and disadvantages. Prior to valve replacement surgery, the patient, cardiologist and cardiac surgeon discuss the options and make the decision based on lifestyle, age, medical history and other factors. The Ross Procedure for Aortic Valve Disease Heart surgery is considered a major surgical operation. It is associated with the following risks: stroke, intraoperative heart attack, bleeding, infection, arrhythmias and death. Fortunately, these risks are usually low in an otherwise healthy patient. At Hoag, we are proud that the risks from surgery occur only 1% to 2% of the time, compared to the national average of 4% to 5%. Additional Information:

http://www.chdinfo.com/aa/aa062297.htm

Extractions: Heart Disease information EVEN your child can understand ! Dateline: 06/22/97 In the previous weeks' articles, we discussed the different treatment options for Aortic Stenosis. This article is the last one of the series, and deals with the pulmonary autograft operation for aortic stenosis. What is the Ross Operation ? Donald Ross was one of the pioneers in cardiac surgery in the U.K. and along with Brian Barratt-Boyes in the early 1960s, was one of the first surgeons in the world to attempt the homograft procedure for aortic valve disease . In view of the uncertain longevity of aortic homografts in that era, Ross was trying to find a more durable and reliable alternative to replace the aortic valve when he struck upon the idea of using the very same patient's pulmonary valve ! In 1967, the first pulmonary autograft operation was performed. The Ross operation involves removing the patient's diseased aortic valve, and replacing it with the patient's own pulmonary valve (the valve that guards the junction between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery). The pulmonary valve is then replaced with a homograft. Some technical details: The Ross operation is an open heart procedure performed with the assistance of the heart-lung machine. After the patient is hooked up onto the machine and the heart stopped, the surgeon evaluates the pathology for suitability for a pulmonary autograft. If it is feasible, the pulmonary valve is then harvested. Great care is taken not to injure branches of the coronary arteries that lie very close to this structure.
