Armpit Aortic Valve Repair and Replacement

It is a minimally invasive aortic valve surgery method called interlocutor closed aortic valve surgery or armpit aortic valve surgery. This access method, which is one of the minimally invasive aortic valve surgery techniques, is an aortic valve repair and replacement surgery with a 4 or 5 centimeter incision in the armpit, without cutting muscle or bone and without making any incision in any other part of the body. The only difference between frontal surgery and underarm aortic valve surgery is the entry site. In short; With this method, aortic valve surgeries are performed by cutting an average of 30-35 centimeters of the frontal bone of the chest without opening it, and no bones are cut.

It is an ideal method for young and old patients, especially those who are obese, have diabetes, breast bone disorders, those who have to return to work early, those who have difficulty lying on their backs, those who use canes or crutches who have difficulty in walking, and those who have to lift and carry heavy items afterwards. Armpit aortic valve surgery is not preferred only in patients with advanced chronic lung disease and in patients who have previously undergone aortic valve surgery by opening the chest from the front. In these patients, it is preferred to open a small window from the front, especially for aesthetic reasons and less damage. These are older methods. The risks of frontal and side attempts are the same. The risk is related to advanced aortic valve disease, heart pump failure, and heart strength. Since 1993, patients who have had aortic valve surgery using these techniques have been published in the literature in many nationally and internationally respected scientific journals and congresses.
