Welcome to Eternal Hospital. We specialize in different cardiac surgeries. A Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty is one of those. It is done to treat conditions such as mitral valve stenosis. In this condition, the valve is narrowed. This hinders blood flow. Meanwhile, a BMV procedure can significantly improve your heart’s performance.
What is Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty, and How is It Done?
So this is a procedure that is done to treat mitral valve stenosis which is a condition that leads to a narrowed mitral valve, that in turn hinders blood flow. BMV works by widening the valve. It thereby improves blood circulation and eases the symptoms. Here are the steps demonstrating how a mitral valve regurgitation treatment is done.
Procedure Steps
A BMV has four to five stages in the total procedure. Here is a list of them in order:
1. Preparation
To help you get ready for the surgery, the first step is to administer anaesthesia. This is usually done on the operation table following which the process will begin.
2. Catheter Insertion
A catheter is inserted through a vein in your groin or arm. This is usually a thin and quite flexible tube. It is carefully guided through your blood vessels. It will be led to reach the mitral valve.
3. Balloon Inflation
Now, the surgeon will check that the catheter is in position. They will then inflate a balloon at its tip. This way the narrowed mitral valve will be widened. That way, blood flow will be enhanced.
4. Balloon Deflation
Now, after the valve is widened, the balloon is deflated and removed. This leaves the valve more open. Therefore, it will allow better blood flow through the heart.
5. Post-Procedure Monitoring
Following Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty, you will be monitored in the hospital. As a general rule, you will be at least kept overnight. This is done to ensure there are no complications.
Therefore, you can understand that BMV is less invasive compared to open-heart surgery. It also usually involves a shorter recovery period and has lower risks. The procedure can greatly improve your quality of life by alleviating symptoms and boosting heart function.
Recovery Tips After Undergoing BMV Surgery
Now, once you are out of the surgery and have returned home healthy, there are still some precautions and tips you need to follow to keep yourself and your heart in good condition. Here are some tips:
1. Follow Medical Advice
Even after Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty surgery, many patients make the mistake of not taking their pills on time or not coming for check-ups. People need to remember that a treatment plan also includes post-operation procedures. Hence, you should be regular and thorough in following medical advice. This means one needs to take their medicines on time, take tests as prescribed, and come for check-ups as scheduled.
2. Monitor Your Health
Pay attention to your symptoms. If you notice any changes or have concerns, please visit us as soon as possible. Also, ask your family members to watch for signs of infection. They may develop at the catheter insertion site. Redness, swelling, or discharge may be some signs that you need to visit us.
3. Lifestyle Adjustments
Bringing your life into order is also another necessary step towards recovery. This encompasses a lot of things. For instance, you need to start having a balanced diet and discard all junk foods. Secondly, you need to keep your body fit and exercise or practice yoga daily. Thirdly, one needs to quit habits like smoking or drinking.
4. Support System
Having a positive support system is very crucial for overall recovery. So gather and trust friends, family, or support groups for emotional and practical support. This will help you recover faster. Their encouragement and assistance can make a significant difference in your healing process.
