The human heart has four valves, and if any of them leak, there is no universal way to repair them. For example, the mitral valve can be repaired with a catheter-based system. But the same catheter can't be used on the tricuspid valve due to the valve's its location, thinness and ...
➢ Valve repair surgery – a damaged valve is fixed without use of prosthetic. ➢ Valve replacement surgery – this is performed when valve repair is not possible. The damaged valve is replaced by a prosthetic or artificial one. ➢ Minimally invasive heart valve surgery Patients are required...
Aleaky heart valvemight go unnoticed. Or it could cause health problems that could be either minor or serious. How serious a leaky heart valve is depends on how much it interferes with normalbloodflow through theheart. Treatments include medicines, surgical repair, or surgical replacement of the ...
Repair and replacement of heart valves 优质文献 相似文献Replacement of Prosthetic Heart Valves During a 15 yr period from January, 1962, through March, 1977, 74 patients have had operations for problems of periprosthetic leak, infection, wear, or thrombosis of a prosthetic heart valve. Fifty eight...
Regurgitation.This is when one of your heart valves doesn't close tightly, so blood can leak backward through the opening. Therefore, not all your blood flows forward through the valve and your heart has to work harder to make up for the leaky valve. Less blood flows to the rest of your...

Heart valve surgery is a leak reduction or repair operation or replacement of the infected valve. To alleviate the symptoms of valvular heart disease, it can prevent permanent damage to the heart. Heart valve surgery is normally open-heart surgery. This means cutting the sternum and to reach ...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a valuable investigative tool in many areas of cardiac medicine. Its value in heart valve disease is less well appreciated however, particularly as echocardiography is a powerful and widely available tec
Valve dysfunction/degeneration after tricuspid valve replacement or repair utilizing an annuloplasty ring is common [56]. It increases morbidity and mortality of the patients. Currently, to overcome this dilemma, the transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve (TVIV) and valve-in-ring (TVIR) implantation...
