After the operation, the head of the Center for Cardiology and Angiology, prof. Audrius Aidietis and Head of the Center for Heart and Chest Surgery prof. Kęstutis Ručinskas affirms that the work in the field of the implantation of the mitral valve of the heart is being carried out very intensively all over the world, the most efficient and advanced techniques are being sought.
Prof. A. Aidietis explains that this operation was performed through a very small incision, through which the left ventricle is accessed, then a special system is introduced and a mitral valve is implanted through it. Doctors monitor the accuracy of the procedure with ultrasound. Such an operation can only be performed in a hybrid operating room, which is specially equipped to work in a team of doctors from different specialties.

“This technique of implantation of the mitral valve differs from others by the method of inserting the valve itself”, adds prof. K. Ručinskas. “In the past, we used a surgical method to stitch the valve together, and this technology allows the valve to be locked using the anatomical structures of the valve itself.”
According to the doctors who operated on the heart valve, in an older person who had a heart attack due to cardiovascular bypass surgery, an open operation would be a major trauma since it would have to stop the heart from functioning. New technology saves the human body, facilitates and accelerates recovery.
The patient feels very well two weeks after the operation, continues to be monitored by doctors and receives rehabilitation services.
The bicuspid (mitral) valve plays a very important role in our body. By separating the left ventricle from the atrium, it prevents blood from flowing backward. When the mitral valve leaks for any reason, such as a heart attack, the blood returns to the left atrium, reaches the lungs and causes significant health problems: increased lung pressure, lack of oxygen makes the person suffer from difficulty To breathe, an untreated condition can lead to life-threatening heart failure.
The anatomy of the heart is complex, so in the past, cardiac and valve operations were performed only openly. Today, the whole world is moving towards minimally invasive surgeries with the least possible impact on the human body: catheters, small incisions, punctures are used.
In recent years, VUL Santara clinics have focused on mitral and aortic valve surgery through advanced research testing new, reliable technologies. Fifty new models of aortic valves were implanted last year. The study was effective in critically ill nonsurgical patients because the procedure could be performed without artificial blood flow, without opening the chest, and using only local anesthesia.
