What is aortic valve Surgery?
The aorta valve surgery may have some risks like any other surgery, but patients can reduce the probability of risks if they do this surgery in a hospital equipped with special facilities and an expert medical team. The probable risks without a surgery include bleeding, arrhythmia, blood clots, valve dysfunction, stroke and death. The complications of this dysfunction are life threating so it is important to take actions immediately.
To achieve a clear view of patient’s health, some tests are required before surgery. The doctor asks about medical history and allergies. Some medicines should be stopped one week prior to the surgery. In addition patients should stop smoking 2 weeks before the surgery because smoking can cause breathing problems or blood clots. Eating and drinking are forbidden from the midnight before the surgery.
