Coronary Artery Disease & Heart Valve Surgery: What Should Patients Know?

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease are often surprised to learn that they also suffer from heart valve disease. And, vice versa, patients diagnosed with heart valve disorders - including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation - may be confused to learn that they unknowingly have coronary artery disease, a blocked blood vessel. As a result, patients have important questions about these life-threatening cardiac diseases and the best approaches to treat coronary artery disease and heart valve disease. For this reason, we interviewed Dr. Marc Gerdisch, a leading cardiac surgeon at Franciscan Health in Indianapolis, Indiana, who has performed over 4,000 heart valve repair and replacement procedures. Key questions asked to Dr. Gerdisch in this interview include: 1. What is coronary artery disease (CAD)? 2. What are the symptoms and risks of CAD? 3. Is CAD and heart valve disease related to each other? Does one cause the other? 4. Can you treat CAD and heart valve disease at the same time? If so, how? Minimally-invasive? 5. Is it common to perform a concomitant CAD and heart valve procedures? 6. What’s your number one piece of advice for patients needing heart valve and coronary artery disease surgery (using stents or coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG))?
