LV Aneurysm Repair in Delhi

LV Aneurysms usually after effects of myocardial infarctions. When the heart muscle partially dies during the heart attack, a layer of muscle may survive and be severely weakened and start to become an aneurysm. The blood may flow into the surrounding dead muscles and inflate the weakened flap of muscle into trouble.

It's one of the many complications that may occur after a heart attack (Myocardial Infarction). They usually arise from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. This, in turn, blocks the passageways leading out of the heart, leading severely constricted blood flow to the body. It can be fatal and usually non-rapturing because they are lined by scar tissue.

Eligible for LV Aneurysm Surgery

Not all patient with heart failure is needed for this procedure. Patients who may benefit from left ventricular surgery include:

• Have had a heart attack that resulted in an aneurysm or a scar in the left ventricle and has symptoms of heart failure (such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and others) that are not relieved with medications and lifestyle changes
• Have severe coronary artery disease with symptoms of angina
• Have valve problems that require surgical treatment
• Ventricular tachycardia (abnormal rhythm originating in the left ventricle that makes it beat too quickly). Indication include passing out, feeling lightheaded or feeling a rapid pounding of the chest
• Carotid Endarterectomy:

It's a type of surgery that used to prevent strokes in people who have carotid artery disease. It occurs if plaque builds up in the two large arteries on each side of your neck (the carotid arteries). The carotid arteries supply your brain with oxygen-rich blood.

Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances found in the blood. Over the time the plaque got hardens and narrows the carotid arteries. This limits or blocks the flow of Oxygen-rich blood to your brain which leads to a stroke.

A stroke also can occur if the plaque in a carotid artery cracks or ruptures (bursts). Blood cell fragments called platelets stick to the site of the injury and may clump together to form blood clots. Blood clots can partly or fully block a carotid artery.

A stroke also can occur if the plaque in a carotid artery cracks or ruptures (bursts). Blood cell fragments called platelets stick to the site of the injury and may clump together to form blood clots. Blood clots can partly or fully block a carotid artery.

A piece of plaque or a blood clot also can break away from the wall of the carotid artery. The plaque or clot can travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in one of the brain's smaller arteries. This can block blood flow in the artery and cause a stroke.

In the Carotid Endarterectomy, you receive a general anesthetic. Then we make small incision along the front of your neck, open your carotid artery and removes the plaques that are clogging your artery. We then repair the artery with stitches or patch made with vein or artifical material (patch graft).

We recommend carotid endarterectomy if you have more than 60 percent of blockage in your arteries. You may be experiencing symptoms. We will evaluate your condition and determine whether you're the right candidate for carotid Endarterectomy.

Aortic Aneurysm Repair

An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery. Normally, the walls of arteries are thick and muscular, allowing them to withstand a large amount of pressure. Occasionally, however, a weak area develops in the wall of an artery. This allows the pressure within the artery to push outwards creating a bulge or ballooned area called an aneurysm. Aneurysms can form in any blood vessel, but they occur most commonly in the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aortic aneurysms can occur in two main places.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur in the part of the aorta that passes through the middle to the low abdomen. 2. Thoracic aortic aneurysms occur on the aorta as it passes through the chest cavity. These are less common than abdominal aneurysms.

Risk factors of Aneurysms

• Atherosclerotic plaque formation at the site of the aneurysm. This causes further weakening of the artery wall
• A blood clot may form at the site and dislodge, increasing the chance of stroke.
• Increase in the size of the aneurysm, causing it to press on other organs. This may cause pain.
• Aneurysm rupture. Because the artery wall thins at this spot, it is fragile and may burst under stress. The rupture of an aortic aneurysm is a catastrophic, life-threatening event.

Causes

• Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which weakens arterial walls.
• Hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Local injury to the artery.
• Congenital abnormality. A number of conditions, such as Marfan syndrome or bicuspid aortic valves are present at birth and can cause weakness of the artery walls.
• Aging
• Syphilis used to be a common cause of thoracic aneurysms, but it is no longer as common.
