🫀 **AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT SURGERY (AVR) – RESTORING THE HEART'S FUNCTION**
Welcome to another episode of our cardiovascular surgical education series!
What happens when the aortic valve becomes severely narrowed and can no longer open properly? How can cardiac surgeons restore normal blood flow?
In this highly realistic 3D medical animation, explore the fascinating process of **Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR)**.
🔬 **WHAT WILL YOU SEE IN THIS EPISODE?**
1️⃣ Aortic valve stenosis and calcification.
2️⃣ Surgical exposure of the heart and cardiopulmonary bypass.
3️⃣ Exposure of the diseased aortic valve.
4️⃣ Removal of calcified valve leaflets.
5️⃣ Preparation of the aortic annulus.
6️⃣ Implantation of a prosthetic heart valve.
7️⃣ Aortic closure and restoration of cardiac activity.
8️⃣ Assessment of the new valve and restored blood flow.
❤️ **HOW DOES IT WORK?**
A new prosthetic valve replaces the diseased native valve, allowing blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta more effectively.
Modern cardiac surgery can make a life-changing difference for patients with severe aortic valve disease.
💬 **DID YOU KNOW?**
The aortic valve normally opens and closes thousands of times every day to maintain one-way blood flow throughout the body!
