Pulmonary valve surgery is performed to repair or replace a dysfunctional valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. It ensures proper blood flow from the heart to the lungs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indications for pulmonary valve surgery include congenital defects, valve stenosis, and regurgitation. These conditions can impair cardiopulmonary function if untreated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surgical techniques involve valve repair, mechanical or biological valve replacement, depending on patient age and condition. Minimally invasive methods are increasingly preferred.<\/span><\/p>\n

Postoperative care after pulmonary valve surgery includes anticoagulation therapy, infection prevention, and regular follow-ups. These measures support long-term recovery and valve function.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pulmonary Valve Disease<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The pulmonary valve is a 3-leaflet valve at the beginning of the vein that sends dirty blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. It ensures that the blood flows in the right direction and does not escape back to the heart. Problems such as pulmonary valve stenosis and pulmonary valve insufficiency can occur. Pulmonary valve diseases are mostly congenital. Absence of a pulmonary valve and pulmonary valve stenosis are the most common problems. Depending on the condition of the problem in the pulmonary valve, pulmonary valve repair or pulmonary valve replacement are among the treatment options.<\/p>\n
