Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) Surgery
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery is a leading treatment for severe aortic stenosis. This condition is typically diagnosed using an electrocardiogram or a transesophageal electrocardiogram, which provides more precise results. AVR surgery involves replacing the damaged aortic valve with a mechanical or biological tissue valve from a human or animal source.
This procedure is an open-heart surgery, taking approximately 2-4 hours. The surgeon makes a 6-8 inch incision in the chest to access and replace the valve. After surgery, patients usually stay in the hospital for about a week before discharge. Full recovery typically takes 4-8 weeks, though some patients may need more time if the surgery was performed through a smaller vein.
The survival rates for AVR surgery are encouraging, with a 5-year survival rate of 94% and a 10-year survival rate of 84%. Post-surgery, the primary focus is on managing pain and preventing wound infections. Patients are given clear instructions on wound care, bathing, and activity restrictions. Strenuous activities involving the arms or chest should be avoided, although light daily walking is generally recommended.
