Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a new treatment for causes of cardiovascular disease. This treatment is relatively light and simple than the surgical treatment of aortic valve replacement as usual.
Most cardiovascular related diseases are difficult to recognize. It is also a leading cause of stroke and sudden death which is extremely dangerous. However, you can still recognize the symptoms early to prevent heart disease and have timely treatment.
A simple and gentle treatment
In recent years, a treatment for aortic valve stenosis was studied and applied, which is transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Thanks to the development of materials technology that artificial valves have been manufactured. First, a metal frame with an ability of ‘remembering’ is made. ‘remembering’ means the frame is a manufacturer with a shape of blood valve but this tool can be minimized into a pipe and when they push out this tool out of the pipe then the tool is back in its first shape. A heart valve is attached a stick to the metal frame. It will help us to find out causes of cardiovascular disease at the first stage.
With this tool, doctors will perform putting in catheters and instruments from a large blood vessel from the leg to bring tools to the right where the narrowed aortic valve and find causes of cardiovascular disease.
According to doctors, transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a new method of the treatment and discovery of causes of cardiovascular disease. This method is quite more gentle and simple than the traditional one. We don’t have to ‘open’ the chest of patients, we don’t have to operate an artificial heart-lung machine and most importantly we can perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation for those patients with a poor health condition. The only challenge is the price.
transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been studied for 20 years and applied for 12 years. In 2015, there were many studies of the effect and safety of this method for causes of cardiovascular disease. Currently, this method brings efficiency which is not inferior compared with valve replacement surgery, and they prefer this method more.
