It is a condition in which the vessels become clogged as a result of the accumulation of fat and cholesterol on the inner surfaces of the blood vessels. Vascular occlusion can cause blood flow to be restricted and tissues to not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. It is a major health problem that can lead to heart attack, stroke and other serious health problems. Healthy lifestyle changes and medical treatments can help control it. Vascular Occlusion...

It is applied in cases where blood flow is blocked due to narrowing of the veins in the legs. Leg vein occlusion surgery aims to open the veins or remove blockages. It is usually performed through endovascular interventions or open surgical techniques. Its purpose is to reduce pain by restoring adequate blood flow. In addition, it is to prevent tissue damage and restore mobility. The procedure can be performed with different techniques depending on the patient's condition. Leg Vein...

It occurs as a result of narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries that feed the heart. Coronary artery disease restricts blood flow and reduces oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. It usually occurs due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). In severe cases, the risk of heart attack or failure increases. Lifestyle changes, medication, and sometimes surgical intervention may be required for diagnosis and treatment. Coronary Artery Disease Symptoms in the Chest...

Buerger's Disease is a rare vascular disease that occurs in the peripheral arteries (small arteries in the limbs). Buerger's disease causes blood flow to be obstructed as a result of inflammation of the vessels. The exact cause is not clearly known. However, it has been closely associated with smoking. Smoking increases the risk of the disease and can exacerbate symptoms. Therefore, people diagnosed with the disease are advised to quit smoking. Buerger's Disease Symptoms...

What is Mitral Valve Surgery? The process of repairing or replacing the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart is called mitral valve surgery. Surgery is used to treat diseases such as valve insufficiency or stenosis. Mitral valve regurgitation is a condition that causes blood to flow backwards because the valve does not close. Mitral valve stenosis is the narrowing of the valve and therefore the blood cannot flow sufficiently...

It is associated with hardening of the artery in the leg. This condition can cause decreased blood flow in the legs. It usually causes symptoms such as pain, fatigue and skin color changes. Treatment of leg vein occlusion may vary depending on the severity of the patient's condition and general health condition. What is Leg Vascular Occlusion and Its Causes It refers to the narrowing or blockage of the arteries in the legs. In this case, artery...

It is a structure located between the right ventricle of the heart and the pulmonary artery and allows blood to flow in one direction towards the lungs. Like other heart valves, it prevents the backward flow of blood. However, some individuals may have congenital or acquired problems with this valve. In such cases, pulmonary valve surgery may be required. It allows blood to flow in one direction to the lungs....

It is the valve called the tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. It occurs as a result of failure to function. This valve functions to prevent blood from flowing backwards from the right atrium into the right ventricle. Tricuspid valve insufficiency is the disease that occurs when it cannot close. What Does the Tricuspid Valve Do? The tricuspid valve carries blood from the right atrium of the heart to the right ventricle...

It is performed when the heart muscle cannot receive enough oxygen due to coronary artery disease. Bypass surgery on a functioning heart aims to create new pathways to bypass blockages in the coronary arteries. During the procedure, a connection is made to the clogged veins using healthy veins or veins taken from outside the body. In this way, blood flow returns to normal and the heart muscle can receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients....

It is performed if the aortic valve in the heart fails to function. This surgical procedure is called aortic valve surgery. The valve is the valve that allows the aorta, the main artery coming out of the heart, to pump the blood coming out of the left ventricle of the heart. However, in some cases it may not work properly. This may cause blood to leak back or not be pumped sufficiently. In Which Situations Is Aortic Valve Surgery Performed? Full...
