When multiple heart valves are affected, it’s essential to address all the problems simultaneously. At MICSPak, we specialize in treating mixed valve disease with personalized care plans that improve your heart’s overall function.
Mixed valve disease is a complex condition where one or more heart valves are affected by both stenosis (narrowing) and regurgitation (leakage). This dual issue disrupts the normal flow of blood through the heart, making it work harder to pump blood efficiently. Over time, this extra strain can weaken the heart muscle, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, and swelling in the legs or abdomen.
Mixed valve disease is often caused by age-related degeneration, infections like endocarditis, or conditions like rheumatic fever that scar and damage the valves. It requires careful evaluation and a tailored treatment approach, as multiple valves may need to be addressed in one procedure.
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 typically involves a combination of valve repair and replacement to address both problems simultaneously. Our expert team uses advanced surgical methods, including minimally invasive approaches, to provide effective solutions tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
After surgery, you’ll be monitored for a few days in the hospital, and most patients go home after 2-3 days.
