https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com Patients with aortic valve disease are often (and unknowingly) diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm. This bulging of the aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in the human body, can be a lifethreatening cardiac disorder that triggers an aortic dissection. In this video, Dr. Joseph Bavaria, the Vice Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Penn Medicine, addresses important considerations, facts and research specific to the different types of aortic valve disease (stenosis, regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve) in the presence of an aortic aneurysm. Watch Dr. Bavaria answer key questions including: Is the diagnosis of aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysm common for patients? How are these cardiac disorders related? Does aortic valve disease cause an aortic aneurysm? Or, do aneurysms cause aortic valve disease? Are these conditions life threatening? Can aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysms be treated during a single operation? Is possible to repair or replace an aortic valve during an aortic root reconstruction? What is the durability of tissue valve replacements in Dacron grafts? What are valvesparing procedures? As the video closes, Dr. Bavaria provides his best piece of advice for patients with aortic valve disorders and aortic aneurysms.
