Mitral Valve Surgery: What Should Patients Know? (Interview with Dr. Vaughn Starnes)
https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Patients with mitral valve disease are often confused about the different procedures and medical devices available for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (a leaking valve) and mitral stenosis (a narrow valve). For this reason, we interviewed Dr. Vaughn Starnes, the Surgeon-in-Chief of Keck Medicine of USC, who has performed over 2,000 successful heart valve operations on patients including Arnold Schwarzenegger. In this video, Dr. Starnes explains important details about mitral valve disease, its symptoms, causes, progression, atrial fibrillation, and risks. Then, Dr. Starnes provides an expansive review of the advantages and key considerations for mitral valve therapies including mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement surgery. In this discussion, Dr. Starnes reviews the different types of mitral valve replacement devices, including mechanical, pig (porcine) and cow (bovine) valves. Dr. Starnes also reveals how new transcatheter technologies (e.g. the MitraClip) are broadening the ability of doctors to treat mitral valve disorders for higher risk patients who previously had no access to therapeutic interventions. The MitraClip does not require any incision to the patient's chest or ribs and does not require the patient to be on the heart-lung machine. In closing, Dr. Starnes offers his advice to mitral valve patients, their families and friends.
