The mini-invasive technique for aortic valve surgery has become a standard procedure even for doctors in our country.
Cardiac surgeon Selman Dumani shows that in the presented cases that needed surgical intervention, this type of technique is already used, the same as in many countries of the world.
“For years, as a team, we have introduced new techniques of mini-invasive aortic valve surgery, and I can say with conviction that as a clinician we can perform these techniques and have made them a standard. This type of technique is a technique that has a smaller opening of the operative wound in relation to standard techniques where the opening is of the entire chest board. Fewer than 100 cases have been performed, but they are enough to say that this technique is now a standard technique. Regarding the mitral valve surgery with this type of technique, i.e. the mini-invasive opening, all of us as a team are still trying to push forward this type of technique to make it a standard technique”, says Selman Dumani, cardiac surgeon QSUT.
The doctor explains that with this type of technique the patient has a shorter recovery time.
“All the papers published on this topic refer to a very easy post-operative recovery, i.e. after the operation of the patient, even fewer clinical events of the patient. Meanwhile, the patient feels better psycho-emotionally and an added value is undoubtedly the aesthetic aspect of the patient after the operation”, adds the cardiac surgeon.
Doctors say this technique can be performed at all ages.
