Pulmonary Valve Repair for Patients With Acquired Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016
Pulmonary valve (PV) insufficiency is often an acquired condition after treatment for pulmonary stenosis. It is recognized that PV insufficiency has serious deleterious effects. Although surgical replacement of the PV is efficacious, artificial valves inevitably fail and require re-intervention. The purpose of this study was to summarize our experience

Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with rapid progression: a case report and literature review

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021
Background Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis (IPE) is rare, accounting for 1.5–2% of all cases of infective endocarditis. Herein, we describe a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with rapid progression in a 28-year-old male.

The pulmonary valve and the pulmonary artery [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2009
A 65-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of a progressive dyspnoea. On physical examination, there was a mild diastolic murmur over the pulmonary area and the electrocardiogram was normal. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed an aneurysmatic dilation of the pulmonary artery trunk (diameters of 59 mm × 55 …

Anatomic, histopathologic, and echocardiographic features in a dog with an atypical pulmonary valve stenosis with a fibrous band of tissue and a patent ductus arteriosus

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2017
Background Congenital pulmonary valve stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus are common congenital heart defects in dogs. However, concurrence of atypical pulmonary valve stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus is uncommon.

Spectrum of pulmonary valve morphology and its relationship to pulmonary trunk in tetralogy of Fallot

open access: yesIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2017
Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a complex congenital heart disease with anatomic variations. Although the pulmonary valve in TOF is abnormal, it has not been studied well, especially on newer imaging modalities such as multidetector computed ...

Handmade Trileaflet Valve Design and Validation for Pulmonary Valved Conduit Reconstruction Using Taguchi Method and Cascade Correlation Machine Learning Model

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Pulmonary valve diseases in children and adults include different degrees of stenosis, regurgitation, or congenital defects. Valve repair or replacement surgery is used to treat valvular dysfunction and to improve regurgitations flow for pulmonary valve ...
