Insufficiency, Stenosis and Surgery"},"content":{"rendered":"

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
Definition<\/td>\nSurgical or interventional treatment of pulmonary valve dysfunctions such as stenosis or insufficiency.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Indications<\/td>\nSevere pulmonary valve insufficiency or stenosis, right ventricular dysfunction, exercise intolerance, arrhythmia, residual lesions after tetralogy of Fallot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Surgical Methods<\/td>\nOpen surgery (mechanical or bioprosthetic valve replacement), minimally invasive surgery (valve replacement through small incision), transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Endovascular Methods<\/td>\nPercutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (PPVR), especially in patients with previous conduit placement or bioprosthetic valve dysfunction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cover Options<\/td>\nMechanical valves (require lifelong anticoagulation), bioprosthetic valves (limited lifespan, usually 10-15 years)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Complications<\/td>\nBleeding, infection, valve dysfunction, arrhythmia, thrombosis, pulmonary artery stenosis, valve migration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Postoperative Follow-up<\/td>\nRegular echocardiography controls, anticoagulant therapy compliance, infective endocarditis prophylaxis, lifestyle modifications<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Long Term Follow-up<\/td>\nMonitoring of valve function, evaluation of right ventricular function, re-intervention planning if necessary<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
