Aortic stenosis occurs when the valve between your heart and the aorta narrows, making it harder for blood to flow. At MICSPak, we offer advanced surgical solutions to open up the valve, reduce strain on your heart, and improve overall function.
Aortic stenosis occurs when the aortic valve becomes stiff or narrowed, reducing blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. This condition places additional strain on the heart, forcing it to work harder to pump blood, which can weaken the heart over time. Aortic stenosis is often caused by age-related calcification of the valve, but it can also result from congenital heart defects or conditions like rheumatic fever.
Fortunately, with advancements in cardiac care, aortic stenosis can be effectively managed or treated. Options include lifestyle changes for early stages, medications to manage symptoms, or surgical interventions like aortic valve replacement (AVR) or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI).
The procedure is simple and involves a few important steps:
Dr. Shahid will talk to you about your health, discuss your options, and decide if it is right for you.
You will be asleep during the procedure, so you won’t feel anything.
Treatment for aortic stenosis typically involves replacing the stiff valve with a new one to allow better blood flow. Depending on the patient’s condition, this can be done through traditional open-heart surgery or advanced techniques like TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation). These procedures aim to relieve the strain on your heart and improve your energy levels.
After surgery, you’ll be monitored for a few days in the hospital, and most patients go home after 2-3 days.

Aortic stenosis is typically caused by aging, congenital defects, or calcification of the valve.
Common symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, and fatigue.
Treatment may involve valve repair or replacement, often through minimally invasive techniques like TAVI.
If untreated, it can lead to heart failure, stroke, or even sudden death in severe cases.
Your doctor will guide you on pre-surgery tests, medications, and lifestyle adjustments to ensure a smooth procedure.
