Surgeon Q&A: Scar Tissue and Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Reoperations

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com – Is it possible to have a minimally-invasive heart valve surgery after multiple open-heart procedures? Scar tissue can complicate reoperations, but exciting advancements are helping patients find new treatment options. To explain how minimally-invasive heart valve reoperations are performed despite scar tissue challenges, we spoke with Dr. Patrick McCarthy, Executive Director of the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. McCarthy is a globally recognized leader in heart valve therapy with over 200 patient recommendations at HeartValveSurgery.com. In this video, Dr. McCarthy discusses: How scar tissue forms after prior open-heart surgeries Why scar tissue makes reoperations slower and more delicate The use of TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) as a less invasive alternative The risks of bleeding associated with reoperations Why finding an experienced reoperative surgeon is critical for patient outcomes If you would like to schedule an appointment or seek a second opinion with Dr. Patrick McCarthy, please call (888) 531-7541 or visit https://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/s....
