“Special Heart Cover Repair”

It was clear that the surgery was risky due to its advanced age and kidney failure. Our primary goal was to be able to repair without changing the cover. Secondly, we thought how to reduce the vital risks of the surgery. For this, without opening the rib cage, under the armpits with a small cut, and most importantly without stopping the heart operation We decided to do it. “
“Mitralization method has regained its health”

Prof. Dr. Köksal said, although the patient’s profile is different in the west, the majority of valve diseases are developing due to febrile rheumatism. Since such valve diseases are difficult to repair, the valve change is generally preferred. However, changing the lid should be to repair the cover that should be preferred in heart valve diseases due to a higher risk of vital risk compared to repairing the lid. For this reason, we aimed to repair it without changing the lid with the mitralization method we developed 3 years ago and we successfully applied this method of our patient. The cover repair method we have developed has been published in an important journal and is still widely used by our colleagues. ”

Especially elderly, renal failure and additional diseases such as COPD patients in patients without stopping the heart without stopping the vital risks expressed. Dr. Köksal said, “When we stop the heart, vital risks increase especially in patients with heart failure and kidney problems. That’s why we performed our patient’s surgery without stopping the heart. We repaired the lid, the leak completely disappeared. In the first week after the surgery, our patient felt very well ”.
