I’ve been in LA the last four days to help bring my sweet friend @bittersqueaks home from the hospital after her open heart surgery and help her adjust/settle in to the long recovery process. Kate is doing SO well and is sooo happy to be home. This tiny little lady blows me away with her feisty spirit. I’ve been running around the house telling her EVERYTHING in the house is over 5lbs (no lifting! Not even teacups!), and wrapping her (straight-jacket style) in electric blankets. Sick Girl Sisterhood is the best medicine sometimes and one of the biggest tools for recovery is keeping your spirits light and your hands busy -cupcakes help also 💕🍰💕 #updateonkate #sickgirlsclub #sickgirlssister #recoverycare #mitralvalve #openheartsurgery #brokenheartbabes #bittersqueaks

What is Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty?

Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty is a non-surgical heart procedure designed to open a narrowed mitral valve, improving the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. Early treatment can improve your life, so don't ignore symptoms like trouble breathing, fatigue, swelling, irregular heartbeat, sudden weight gain, or dizziness. Contact Dr. Atul Patil, a complex angioplasty expert, for more information and treatment options.

Understanding Valve Disorders: What Are They?

The human heart has four vital valves that ensure proper blood flow in the right direction. These valves can sometimes become dysfunctional, leading to what is known as a valve disorder. Valve disorders may involve narrowing (stenosis), leakage (regurgitation), or improper closure, which can cause various heart-related symptoms.

1. Mitral Valve: Located between the left atrium and the left ventricle, the mitral valve controls the flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Mitral valve disorders can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, and irregular heartbeats.

2. Aortic Valve: The aortic valve is situated between the left ventricle and the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. Aortic valve disorders can restrict blood flow to the body, leading to chest pain, fainting, or heart failure if untreated.

3. Tricuspid Valve: This valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle. It ensures proper blood flow to the lungs. Issues with the tricuspid valve can result in swelling of the legs, abdomen, and liver.

4. Pulmonary Valve: Found between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, the pulmonary valve manages blood flow to the lungs. Pulmonary valve disorders can cause symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or fainting, it might be time to consult a heart specialist.

Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery

A mitral valve replacement surgery is used to substitute a malfunctioning heart valve with an artificial prosthetic implant. This is a major type of surgery and is most useful in treating severe medical disorders of the heart such as mitral valve stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation.

This valve replacement surgery may be performed using conventional open-heart surgery method or the more modern minimally invasive surgical methods. This choice depends on several factors such as your age, overall health, activity level, prevalent medical conditions (if any) and your doctor's discretion.

How is a Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery Performed?

A mitral valve replacement surgery is the major type of cardiac surgery and requires extensive planning and strategy to make it successful and satisfactory.

Conventional open-heart surgery requires the surgeon to make a large incision along the middle of the rib cage. The surrounding organs are shifted to the site in order to gain clear access to the heart valve. The surgeon will be required to connect you to a heart-lung (cardio-pulmonary machine) for the duration of the surgery in order to keep the rest of the body to function normally. The heart muscles are numbed and the heart stopped in order to remove the damaged mitral valve and replace it with a substitute artificial implant valve. The surgeon will then shift the surrounding organs carefully back into their original position. The cut rib cage is then held together using surgical clamps and the surgeon then closes the incision with the help of strong sutures.

The minimally invasive surgical method requires less number of the incision as well as smaller (keyhole) incisions. This provides less pain from surgery, faster recovery and a resultants shorter hospital stays as compared to the conventional surgery method.

The surgeon may use conventional open-heart the method or the minimally invasive surgical method however the main aim of the surgery is to replace the damaged mitral valve in the heart.

Why is a Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery required?

Valve replacement surgery is the most ideal treatment method for people suffering from severe valve regurgitation or valve stenosis problems in case valve repair surgery is unsuccessful in treating them.

Although an artificial mitral valve might not work as good as a natural valve it can work sufficiently to relieve you of the painful symptoms and to improve your quality of life. This surgery is considered when the damage to the valve is till irreparable extent and no other option is deemed plausible.

Time stops for no one and no reason, tomorrow , against my better judgement, I shall turn 24. This time last year I was boarding a plane to Scotland for the world Pipeband championships, I was falling madly in love, I was working with people who had become family, and hoping that I’d get my shit together by 24 because clearly I hadn’t at 23. In my 23rd year I learned about my own family and became a part of other people’s, I was discovering what it truly meant to care about another person and just how profound loss can feel , and recently I became so aware of how powerful support from the people who love you is, and how despite the cliche of it all life is so fragile- that we aren’t guaranteed anything, another day and more time aren’t promised to us, making the most of not just 24 as a whole , but every day month and year going forward is something I need to do. If 24 is going to be my year I have to let go of all the bad, and take with me the lessons learned, obstacles crawled through, and love received. I have to allow myself to be alone, to let the past die and turn my face to the sun and realize that I have two perfectly good feet to stand on, and that I don’t always have to be my own worst critic. This year brought me incredible love and incredible heartbreak, it brought me thousands of miles on my car,it brought me loyal friends and open heart surgery, it brought me Guinness with chambord, it brought me the discovery of an excellent acne cream and a new favorite sunscreen, and a ton of memories (some fuzzy) involving kilts and bagpipes, it brought me Glasgow and stirling and getting kicked out of nightclubs, it brought me additional parents and siblings and bruises and pizza. 23 showed me that if you let it be open your entire corner will fill with people from all walks of your life who can offer their own perspective and help, you just have to be willing to let them. I have a whole wide world ahead of me and tomorrow is just proof that I made it this far already, no turning back now. Besides, nobody likes you when youre 23
