Unique surgeries by renowned cardiac surgeons – only at Top Ihilov
The main pathologies of the tricuspid valve include narrowing of its diameter, or stenosis, insufficiency (the leaflets do not close tightly), and congenital defects (atresia – the ventricles are unevenly developed, Ebstein's anomaly – displacement of the leaflets).
Treatment of tricuspid valve defect in Israel involves the use of medications and surgical intervention.
- Medication therapy. At Top Ihilov Medical Center, modern medications effective against the pathology and safe for the body are used. In treating tricuspid valve defects, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, glycosides, etc. are prescribed. The goal of using medications is to lower blood pressure, improve circulation, reduce the frequency and strength of heart contractions, coronary artery spasm, and more. Individual selection of medications allows for maximum effect and reduction of side effects.
- Surgical intervention. Cardiac surgeons at Top Ihilov generally prefer minimally invasive surgeries performed on a beating heart. Annuloplasty is a procedure to strengthen the base of the valve and secure the leaflets in the correct position by placing a ring or sutures. Annuloplasty achieves complete closure of the leaflets and normalization of blood circulation. During leaflet repair, the cardiac surgeon separates fused leaflets, restores their shape, and sutures any tears. This means correcting defects in their structure. Valve replacement with an artificial prosthesis is performed via transcatheter access. Biological or mechanical implants (made from composite materials) that are safe, hypoallergenic, and integrate well are used. Transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty is used to increase the lumen in cases of stenosis using a balloon that is guided to the stenosis site and inflated primarily with liquid to avoid embolism, thereby increasing the valve's lumen. After achieving normal parameters, the liquid is released from the balloon, and the balloon is removed along with the catheter.
Diagnosis of Tricuspid Valve Defect in Israel
In the presence of cardiovascular pathologies, it is very important to conduct examinations quickly and efficiently, as any delay may worsen the patient's condition.
First Day. From the Airport to the Doctor's Appointment
Immediately upon arrival in the country, the patient, accompanied by a representative from the international department, goes to the clinic. There, a cardiac surgeon is already waiting for him. The specialist conducts an examination, reviews the data from previous studies, and prescribes additional tests if necessary.
Second Day. Comprehensive Examination in One Day
- Laboratory tests of urine and blood.
- CT, MRI.
- Angiography of the vessels.
- Chest X-ray.
- Auscultation.
- Electrocardiographic study.
- Traditional and transesophageal echocardiography.
- Exercise testing.
- Cardiac catheterization if necessary, etc.
Third Day. Individual Treatment Plan
Evaluating the results of the tests and studies, the medical board makes a decision on which medications and in what dosage should be chosen for medication therapy and whether surgical intervention is necessary (if so, to what extent). Considering the peculiarities of the disease's progression, the patient's condition, and age when planning the therapy strategy allows for high effectiveness and avoids medical errors.
