Pulmonary valve papillary fibroelastoma

Echocardiography, 2020
AbstractWe present a case of a 70‐year‐old woman with exertional shortness of breath. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a large mass on the ventricular side of the pulmonary valve. The anatomy of the mass was additionally investigated with a transesophageal echocardiogram, which delineated the anatomical details of the structure.

Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2009
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is a new treatment option in patients with dysfunctional conduits. The aim of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is to prolong the lifespan of right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduits and thereby postponing open-heart surgery.

Mechanical Pulmonary Valve Replacement

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2016
Although most valve operations performed annually address lesions of the aortic or mitral valves, the frequency of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is increasing because most patients with congenital heart disease are surviving into the adult years. The vast majority of patients, especially children that require PVR, obtain a tissue valve because of ...

Pulmonary Valve Papillary Fibroelastoma

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2009
A 67-year-old woman with a past history of hypertension and type 1 diabetes mellitus, complicated by ischaemic heart disease, retinopathy and nephropathy, presented with several months of worsening dyspnoea and clinical signs of right heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed normal left ventricular systolic function with a restrictive ...

Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2006
Percutaneous implantation of valves is a fast evolving field in interventional cardiology. Acquired pulmonary valve disease is uncommon; however, right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction is one of the common indications of reoperations during late follow-up of repaired congenital heart disease.

Pulmonary valve disease: Pulmonary valve stenosis

2015
Introduction Transcatheter therapy of valvar pulmonary stenosis is one of the rst, if not the rst, catheter intervention that has facilitated the application of this technology for children so that many of them can benet by less invasive treatment for structural congenital heart defects.

Rheumatic pulmonary valve disease∗

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1969
Abstract The main findings in 51 autopsy cases of rheumatic heart disease with involvement of the four cardiac valves are described, with particular attention to pulmonary valve disease. The high incidence of rheumatic pulmonary valve disease is ascribed to (1) an unusually high incidence of rheumatic heart disease in Mexico City; (2) a marked ...

Isolated Pulmonary Valve Endocarditis

Cardiology, 2015
Endocarditis of only the pulmonary valve is a very rare finding and is often missed during echocardiographic evaluation due to limited views of the pulmonary valve and a low index of suspicion. We report 2 cases of pulmonary valve endocarditis (PVE), highlighting the importance of echocardiography in the assessment of the infected pulmonary valve.

Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement

Coronary Artery Disease, 2009
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation helps in prolonging the lifespan of surgically placed right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduits, and represents a less invasive alternative to repeat open-heart surgery. The clinical indications for treatment match those of surgery.
