Avatar n tn Hi I have a coronary calcium score of 577 and my heart arteries are serverly calcified. Are open heart operations (bypasses) with good prognosis with type 1 diabetics? I have been on insulin for 32 years since I was 17.
Avatar f tn Since then I have had numerous surgeries to correct different problems with my heart. This coming May I need another open heart surgery. I am extremely scared. I know just about what my surgeon and parents have told me about the whole process starting from the day before to a couple months after. If anybody has gone through this surgery around this age, could you please let me know? Maybe what the whole process was like? How you felt pre-surgery? Post-surgery? How much pain?
Avatar n tn MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE A LEAKING HEART VALVE. EVEN VERY YOUNG PEOPLE. IT IS OFTEN CALLED A HEART MURMUR. SOMETIMES PEOPLE MAY NEED A NEW VALVE REPLACED WITH SURGERY, AND EVEN IF YOUR MOM'S VALVE WAS LEAKING THAT BADLY, THESE OPERATIONS ARE DONE OFTEN AND ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with severe mitral regurgitation this past week. I have had the TEE, and a CT scheduled this week along with a meeting with heart surgeon. Our local surgeons only repair mitral valves with open chest technique. I am interested in the minimally invasive option since I have no other health issues. Is there any reason I should consider the open chest surgery? Seems like the obvious best choice is minimally invasive. Thanks.
Avatar m tn With children there is usually two operations, the second operation to account for the growth factor of a child.
881091 tn?1242724466 after hearing from numerous doctors, it appears to be safe, and the large majority of operations go well. it is not open heart surgery, like a bypass, so the chances of living, are alot higher than that of open heart of course. ive never met anyone who has suffered due to an angioplasty or stents. my dad had them and they seem really successful. 4 years down the track and his stents are serving him really well. keeping him alive.
Avatar f tn With the enlarged heart and mitral valve regurgitation--I would think that you should be evaluated for a repair of the valve. This can be done robotically, and without open heart surgery in many larger hospital centers. You want to go to a hospital that has surgeons specializing in that type of surgery and where they have done thousands of operations. You could start with your own current cardiologist to get recommendations for a referral elsewhere.
487443 tn?1208839512 I also found some surgeons treated autism patients by neurosurgery operations. I wonder whether neurosurgery operations are really effective for curing infantile autism and this kind of therapy is mature. Any risks exist in neurosurgery operations? Any successful cases around the world? After the redundant nerves are cut off, is it possible for them to revive after operations? Hope for your replies! Thanks a lot!
Avatar m tn My father is 60 years old and had a heart attack last week. When diagnosed he had 80% blockage in one artery and a minor block in other artery. His Coloestrol, sugar and BP is perfect. Doc though is suggesting a bypass, can anybody suggest that is it the last remedy or we can have some scope through medicines?
Avatar m tn what if they find a bad blockage, does this mean open heart surgery or is it a simple fix. Im just too young to be going through this. Is anyone else out there in this situation and what has been your outcome? thank you for anyresponces.
Avatar n tn I have moderate to severe mitral valve regurgatation and am seeing a cardiac surgeon today. I'm really scared of surgery. has any one had this done? any advice about finding a surgeon? I have cardiomyopathy with EF of 36%. I also have a implanted defibilator. I have been having episodes of severe chest pain. I was told it is not cardiac related. But it is so bad at times I can not lay flat, or even recline slightly I have to sit straight up.
595144 tn?1219229276 I had a heart attack two months ago with two stents being necessary. At the time it was found that a heart mumur indicated minor regurgitation due to a biscuspid valve. Further tests showed a dilated ascending aorta measuring 49mm. On seeing a heart surgeon today he suggested just watching the dilation and checking each 6 months. He seemed inclined not to use a metal valve and wanted to delay the inevitable operation.
Avatar f tn So my husband, my daughters father and I all sat down and talked to her about it, and we grounded her from her tablet for about a month, we were kind of clueless on how to handle this. Well it happened again, and now there’s 2 videos days apart from each other she they’re getting a little worse. This time I need to do something more effective. Is this the new norm for kids in this generation? What do I do about it? What do I do with her tablet?
Avatar n tn My nine year old grandson has started pulling his mic key feeding tube out, he was having 6 x 200mls enrich plus, now he is down to two. He has had 5 open heart operations, at two weeks old he had no oxygen for 9 minutes after a pump malfunctioned after first open heart surgery. Is there any help available to help Ben to eat, he has had x rays and his gullet is clear. There is no reason why he cant eat, we think it is behavioural.
Avatar n tn Repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm may be performed surgically through an open incision or in a minimally-invasive procedure called endovascular aneurysm repair. A failure with the surgery may require another sugery procedure if the operation fails... "The graft is sutured to the aorta connecting one end of the aorta at the site of the aneurysm to the other end of the aorta. Open repair remains the standard procedure for an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Avatar m tn Im 18yrs old and I had an operation to correct a sub aortic stinosis which didnt work at theage of 2 and a half, and around the time of me 12 birthday, i had thae ross precedure done, and obviously, im still alive, fingers crossed all will be ok with you, im going to have a lot more operations on my heart so im sure you, or whoever it is having their second op will be ok.
Avatar n tn I do not know a lot about it because I have never really spoken to my parents about it but I know its to do with the aortic valve leaking. I had an operation (open heart) when i was about 1 i think, and about 2 years ago I had the valve ballooned? (not sure if that is correct) to stretch it. Anyway.... I have also had for the past 2 years or so bad anxiety.
Avatar n tn second choice and also my primary care doctors choice is to get open heart surgery so that i would not have to take blood thinners... I also have severe back problems and fibromyalgia... are stents really worth it? I have heard so many negatives on stents and how they have to repeat the procedure so which of these should i do? will i even have a choice? please reply asap..
Avatar m tn The little mass kept disappearing and appearing. I had to make videos so drs. would believe me. When he was 6 years old he did orchiopexy surgery then 2017 pediatric surgery did laparoscopic surgery and found a right inguinal hernia . However, this hernia was never detected in ultrasounds, MRI's or CT's scans. After his surgery the pain got worse. Since 2017 he is having this pain on and off. Now, 2021 the pain is extreme and frequent it's daily at a level 9.
