Pulmonary Valve Replacement
Articles and resources for Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Pulmonary valve replacement is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing a malfunctioning pulmonary valve, which controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs. This procedure is often considered for individuals with conditions such as pulmonary valve stenosis, where the valve narrows and restricts blood flow, or pulmonary regurgitation, where the valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to leak back into the heart. These conditions can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, ultimately affecting overall heart function.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may involve either open-heart surgery or a minimally invasive technique, depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s preference. During the surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with a mechanical or biological valve. Patients can expect to stay in the hospital for several days post-surgery, during which they will be monitored for any complications and begin a recovery plan that may include physical therapy and follow-up appointments.
The benefits of pulmonary valve replacement often include improved blood flow, reduced symptoms, and enhanced quality of life. Patients may experience increased energy levels and better exercise tolerance. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, some patients may require long-term follow-up care to monitor the function of the new valve and manage any potential issues that may arise.
