Heart valve surgery is a procedure performed to address heart valve disease, a condition characterized by malfunctioning of one or more of the four heart valves responsible for maintaining proper blood flow through the heart. The four valves include the mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary, and aortic valves, each equipped with flaps (leaflets for the mitral and tricuspid valves, and cusps for the aortic and pulmonary valves) that regulate blood flow direction during each heartbeat. When these valves fail to open and close correctly, it disrupts blood flow within the heart and to the body.
Valve replacement includes four procedures:
- Aortic valve replacement (AVR)
- Mitral valve replacement (MVR)
- Tricuspid valve replacement (TVR)
- Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR)
The aortic valve and the mitral valve replacements are the most common. Pulmonary and tricuspid valve replacements are uncommon in adults.
Why Cardiac valve replacement is performed?
Heart valve surgery aims to address heart valve disease, which typically presents in two forms:
Valve Stenosis: This occurs when a valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow.
Valve Regurgitation: This condition involves a leak in a valve that allows blood to flow backward, disrupting normal circulation.
Types:
The following are the types of Cardiac Valve Replacement:
- Valvuloplasty
- Annuloplasty
