Valve reconstruction is a surgical technique used to repair defects in heart valves. It provides an alternative to valve replacement. In the US, about 99,000 heart valve operations are performed each year, most commonly to repair or replace the mitral or aortic valves which are on the left side of the heart. Valve repair techniques include commissurotomy to open narrowed valves, annuloplasty to provide support with a ring, and reshaping, patching or shortening valve leaflets. Conditions requiring surgery include severe valve damage or complications from issues like infection.

This document discusses valve reconstruction and replacement procedures for the aortic and mitral valves. It begins with an introduction to cardiac valve surgery and relevant anatomy. It then covers the history of valve surgery and discusses techniques for valve reconstruction including commissurotomy, annuloplasty, chordoplasty, and balloon valvuloplasty. Indications and surgical procedures for reconstructing specifically the aortic and mitral valves are described. The document also briefly discusses tricuspid valve anatomy, indications for surgery, and repair techniques. It concludes with a short definition of valve replacement.
Types of heart surgeries include open heart surgery, where the heart is stopped and surgery is performed on internal structures. Modern beating-heart surgery is done without bypass and stabilizes the heart during surgery. Minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and a robot to perform surgery. Other types are pediatric cardiovascular surgery, heart transplantation, coronary artery bypass grafting to create new blood flow paths, heart valve repair or replacement, and stent placement via angioplasty to open blocked arteries.

Cardiac surgery involves operations on the heart or major blood vessels and is used to treat complications from ischemic heart disease, congenital heart defects, and valvular heart disease. Modern techniques include beating-heart surgery where the heart continues to beat during operations and heart transplantation, which was first successfully performed in 1967. Coronary artery bypass grafting is also a common procedure that creates alternative blood flow paths around blockages to prevent clots. While cardiac surgery has risks, techniques have advanced to greatly reduce mortality rates for procedures like congenital heart defect repairs.

Aortic Valve Sparring Root Replacement David vs yacoubDicky A Wartono
The document discusses different techniques for aortic valve-sparing operations, including the remodeling technique developed by Yacoub and the reimplantation technique developed by David. It describes the technical steps for each procedure and compares their early mortality rates and long-term outcomes. While both techniques can successfully preserve native valve function, the reimplantation technique may be preferable to remodeling for certain patient anatomies or pathologies like bicuspid valves, Marfan syndrome, or acute aortic dissection. Intraoperative imaging is important for assessing valve competence after repair.
This document discusses coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It aims to completely revascularize the heart muscle to relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, and increase life expectancy. CABG surgery is indicated for significant stenosis of the left main coronary artery or other multi-vessel disease. The standard approach is on-pump CABG using cardiopulmonary bypass, though off-pump CABG is also performed. The left internal thoracic artery is the preferred graft for the left anterior descending artery due to its excellent long-term patency rates. Reversed saphenous veins are commonly used for other grafts but have lower patency rates over time. Patient and vessel characteristics help determine surgical candidacy and technique.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowed coronary arteries of the heart. During PCI, a catheter is inserted through the groin or arm and threaded to the blocked artery. A deflated balloon at the catheter's tip is inflated to flatten the plaque against the artery wall. In some cases, a stent is placed to keep the artery open. PCI aims to restore blood flow, relieve chest pain, and reduce the risk of heart attack. Patients typically recover within a day but are advised to limit activity for 1-2 weeks.

AVR - MVR all you need to know about Valve Repair & ReplacementDeepam Meditours
This document provides information about heart valve disease, symptoms, and repair or replacement procedures. It describes the location and function of the aortic and mitral valves. Aortic valve replacement is done to treat narrowing or leakage, while mitral valve repair is an open heart surgery for similar issues. Valve repair aims to correct malfunction, but replacement is needed when repair is not possible. Replacement can involve mechanical or biological valves. The risks, advantages, and surgical options for heart valve procedures are also summarized.
Recent Advances in Cardiothoracic SurgeryKuntal Surana
Recent advances in cardiac surgery include minimally invasive procedures, trans catheter interventions, and mechanical circulatory support. Minimally invasive surgeries like off-pump CABG and robotic cardiac surgery are performed through smaller incisions. Trans catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and mitral valve interventions provide alternatives to open heart surgery for high-risk patients. Mechanical circulatory support devices like left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and total artificial hearts are used to support patients with advanced heart failure while awaiting transplant. These innovations aim to make cardiac procedures less invasive with fewer complications and faster recovery times for patients.
The Ross procedure involves replacing the diseased aortic valve with the patient's own pulmonary valve, and replacing the pulmonary valve with a homograft. This avoids the need for lifelong anticoagulation. The pulmonary valve is excised and implanted into the aortic position using techniques like subcoronary implantation. A homograft is then used to replace the pulmonary valve. Long term outcomes are generally good, though there is a risk of dilation of the pulmonary autograft over time which can lead to aortic insufficiency. Careful postoperative management of blood pressure and use of NSAIDs is important.
This document discusses low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), including its causes, assessment, and management. It defines LCOS as a cardiac index less than 2 L/min/m2 and left sided filling pressures greater than 20mmHg. The key determinants of cardiac output are reviewed as heart rate, stroke volume, preload, afterload, and contractility. Etiologies of LCOS are discussed including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors. Assessment involves bedside examination, hemodynamic measurements, labs, and imaging like echocardiogram. Management focuses on optimizing preload, contractility, afterload, oxygen delivery, and treating underlying causes.
There are three types of cannulations used in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB): arterial, venous, and cardioplegia cannulation. The target for venous cannulation is generally the right atrium, while the target for the arterial cannula is the ascending aorta. Venous blood is diverted from the superior and inferior vena cavae to the oxygenator via flexible plastic cannulas inserted into the venae cavae or right atrium. Cardioplegia cannulas are used to deliver cardioplegia solution to the patient's heart.
The document summarizes information about the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), which is a circulatory assist device used to support the left ventricle through counterpulsation. It describes how the IABP works by inflating and deflating a balloon catheter timed to the cardiac cycle to displace aortic blood. It provides details on patient criteria, device set-up, monitoring, complications, and weaning from the IABP.
A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE, is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram. A specialized probe containing an ultrasound transducer at its tip is passed into the patient's esophagus. This allows image and Doppler evaluation which can be recorded. It has several advantages and some disadvantages compared with a transthoracic echocardiogram.
The document describes various surgical approaches for acquired mitral valve disease. It discusses considerations for mitral valve repair versus replacement and emphasizes the importance of surgeon experience for complex repairs. Standard median sternotomy is described as the most common approach, while minimally invasive approaches through smaller incisions are also discussed. Specific techniques for exposing the mitral valve through the right atrium, interatrial groove, or left atrial dome are outlined. Factors such as concomitant procedures, myocardial protection, and closure are addressed.
This document provides information on surgical repair of the mitral valve for acquired mitral valve disease. It discusses that mitral valve repair is preferred over replacement when possible as it has lower risks and better preserves heart function. Techniques for repair include annuloplasty to reshape the valve ring, leaflet resection or suturing to address prolapse, and creation of artificial chordae to improve leaflet coaptation. The quality of repairs must be assessed using techniques like saline testing to ensure adequate valve function is restored.
The document describes the history and evolution of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, including early procedures using smaller incisions rather than full sternotomy, and the development of techniques like port-access bypass which use peripheral cannulation and an endoaortic balloon to occlude the aorta and allow procedures like CABG or mitral valve surgery to be done through smaller incisions. It also covers the various approaches and techniques used for minimally invasive procedures, as well as patient selection considerations and how to harvest vessels like the LIMA through smaller incisions.

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are mechanical pumps that are used to support heart function in patients with heart failure. There are several indications for LVAD support including bridging patients to cardiac transplantation, bridging to decision about transplantation eligibility, as destination (permanent) therapy for those ineligible for transplantation, and bridging to potential heart recovery. LVADs improve symptoms and survival in advanced heart failure patients and can allow some to recover enough to no longer require support or become eligible for transplantation. Newer continuous flow LVAD designs have improved outcomes compared to older pulsatile devices.
The document discusses drugs commonly used in cardiac catheterization laboratories. It describes the uses, mechanisms of action, dosages, and side effects of various drugs including lidocaine for local anesthesia, heparin and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors for anticoagulation during procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention, nitrates like glyceryl trinitrate for vasodilation, inotropes like dopamine and dobutamine, antiarrhythmics like amiodarone, and contrast agents like iohexol. The document provides an overview of how these drugs are utilized during different cardiac procedures performed in cath labs.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques and trans catheter valve replacements are also discussed. The document concludes by considering complications, contraindications and factors in deciding between valve repair or replacement.
The document discusses the history and development of artificial hearts. It describes early artificial heart designs from the 1950s-1980s that had limited success due to issues like foreign body rejection and limited patient mobility. More recent artificial heart designs from the 1990s onward have had improved outcomes, with some patients living over 30 days. Current challenges include reducing blood clotting and infection risks. Researchers are working on new designs using flexible plastic and a patient's own cells to potentially eliminate the need for anticoagulation drugs. The artificial heart's future relies on designs allowing worldwide mobility without complications.

Prosthetic Heart Valves from Research Paperdocmutaher
Over the past sixty years, advancements in heart valve replacement surgery have revolutionized patient outcomes, enhancing both survival rates and functional recovery. Innovations in prosthetic valve design, surgical techniques, and multidisciplinary approaches have broadened the scope of treatment options for diverse patient populations. Today, minimally invasive procedures and primary valve repair techniques are commonplace in leading medical centers, ensuring tailored care for individual needs. Collaboration among heart valve teams enables comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans, including the utilization of transcatheter therapies when suitable. Despite these strides, selecting the optimal valve prosthesis remains a complex decision, balancing durability against the risk of complications such as thromboembolism and the need for long-term anticoagulation. Thus, the pursuit of the ideal heart valve substitute continues, driving ongoing research and innovation in cardiovascular medicine.
1) Operations for congenital heart disease can be palliative, reparative, or corrective depending on the goals of treatment. Palliative operations do not correct the defect but improve heart function to relieve symptoms until the child is older enough for corrective surgery. Common palliative operations include aortopulmonary shunts like the Blalock-Taussig shunt or pulmonary artery banding.
2) Corrective surgeries fully repair the defect, such as closing a patent ductus arteriosus, repairing coarctation of the aorta, or closing an atrial septal defect. Open-heart surgery is often used and techniques include patching, removing narrow sections, or using st

The heart-lung machine provides temporary circulatory and respiratory support during cardiac surgery, allowing the heart to be stopped and the lungs bypassed. It oxygenates and pumps blood, maintaining circulation while the surgery is performed. Key components include venous and arterial cannulas, pumps, an oxygenator, filters, heat exchangers, and tubing. Membranous oxygenators facilitate gas exchange without bubbles, while roller pumps propel blood flow. Advances aim to further reduce complications like microemboli and post-operative cognitive issues.
The document discusses different techniques for aortic valve-sparing operations, including the remodeling technique and the reimplantation technique. It provides details on how each technique is performed surgically and discusses findings from studies comparing the techniques. The main points are:
1) The remodeling technique preserves some aortic root distensibility but the reimplantation technique causes higher pressure gradients due to a more rigid fixation of the valve.
2) Bending deformation of the valve leaflets is higher for both techniques compared to native aortic roots, due to the use of synthetic graft material.
3) Aortic root distensibility decreases for both techniques compared to native roots, with less distensibility observed with

The key information is that a nanorobot could remove coronary artery blockages without surgery by entering through a small incision and using nano-components to navigate to the site of plaque buildup. This would avoid the 4-6 hour operation and long recovery process of traditional bypass surgery.
The document provides an overview of several interventional procedures for treating valve diseases, including percutaneous aortic valve replacement, percutaneous mitral valve repair, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), cardiac devices like implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and artificial hearts. Key procedures discussed include replacing the aortic valve through a catheter in the femoral artery, repairing the mitral valve with a small metal clip, and implanting devices like ICDs, CRT pacemakers, and temporary artificial hearts.
Double valve replacement surgery is better known as heart valve replacement surgery. It is performed to treat the heart by replacing a damaged valve with a healthy one. The valve replacement keeps the heart safe and sound from further damage or infection. The human heart consists of four valves: the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, the pulmonic valve and the aortic valve. For more information visit at www.surgeryxchange.com
This document describes the use of microdialysis catheters to monitor free flaps in reconstructive surgery at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. It presents two case studies where microdialysis detected issues with free flaps earlier than clinical observation alone. In the first case, microdialysis identified a problem with venous outflow in a fibula flap that was corrected surgically. In the second case, microdialysis found an issue with arterial inflow in a muscle flap that also required reoperation. The document advocates for microdialysis as an objective and sensitive monitoring method that can facilitate early intervention to save compromised free flaps.
The document discusses various surgical treatments for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), whose end result is often heart failure. The main treatments discussed are the Batista operation which removes part of the left ventricle to reduce its size, ventricular restoration surgery to return the heart to a more normal elliptical shape, devices to constrain or compress the ventricles, dynamic cardiomyoplasty which uses stimulated muscle to augment heart function, ventricular assist devices to partially or fully replace pump function, and heart transplantation as a last resort. Recent advances include smaller continuous flow pumps that are easier to implant.

Seminar congenital cardiac disorders (pda,TA and AP Window)Uma Binoy
Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart disorder where the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel connecting the pulmonary artery and aorta, fails to close after birth as it normally would. This allows blood to shunt from the aorta to the pulmonary artery, potentially causing heart failure. It can be diagnosed via echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, or chest x-ray and may be treated with medications like indomethacin or surgery.
This document discusses various types of healthcare settings and nursing roles. It begins by defining different care settings including ambulatory care, acute and critical care, home health care, and long-term care.

Specific settings for critical and ambulatory care nursing are explored like hospitals, clinics, and community programs. Key aspects of critical care nursing practice and ethics are summarized.
This document provides an overview of Lydia Hall's nursing theory. Hall's theory proposes that nursing care can be delivered on three interlocking levels: care, core, and cure. Care involves hands-on bodily care. Core focuses on using self in relationship to the patient. Cure applies medical knowledge to treat disease. Hall defines nursing as care performed by trained professionals to maintain health and quality of life from birth to death. The theory emphasizes how the three levels interact and change depending on patient needs. It relates to nursing paradigms like individual, health, and environment. The document also outlines Hall's background, limitations of the theory, and examples of its applications.
Tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that primarily affects the lungs. It spreads through inhaling droplets from an infected person and can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include cough, weight loss, fever and night sweats. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, sputum culture and tuberculin skin test. Treatment requires taking multiple antibiotics daily for 6-12 months under direct observation to prevent drug resistance and cure the infection.
Seminar on buergers disease and raynauds diseaseUma Binoy
Raynaud's disease and thromboangitis obliterans (Buerger's disease) are caused by reduced blood flow to the extremities. Raynaud's disease involves intermittent vasoconstriction of arteries in fingers and toes in response to cold or stress, causing discoloration and pain. Buerger's disease causes inflammation and blood clots in lower extremity arteries and veins, which can lead to gangrene if untreated. Both diseases require lifestyle modifications like avoiding cold and tobacco to prevent attacks and progression. Treatment involves medications to improve circulation, surgery to relieve symptoms, and amputation in severe cases of Buerger's disease.

Seminar valve reconstruction and replacement
1.
2.
Valve reconstruction has proved to be an effective,
reproducible and durable treatment for life-threatening
Cardiac diseases.In the United States, surgeons
perform about 99,000 heart valve operations each
year. Nearly all of these operations are done to repair
or replace the mitral or aortic valves. These valves are
on the left side of the heart, which works harder than
the right. They control the flow of oxygen-rich blood
from the lungs to the rest of the body.If valve damage is
mild, doctors may be able to treat it with medicines. If
damage to the valve is severe, surgery to repair or
replace the valve may be needed.

heart valve surgery is open heart surgery. After
hooked up to the heart-lung machine, heart is
stopped and cooled.
Next, a cut is made into the heart or aorta,
depending on which valve is being repaired or
replaced.

Once the surgeon has finished the repair or
replacement, the heart is then started again,
and are disconnected from the heart-lung
machine.
The surgery can take anywhere from 2 to 4
hours or more, depending on the number of
valves that need to be repaired or replaced.

Recovery from heart valve surgery usually
involves a few days in an intensive care unit
(ICU) of a hospital. Full recovery from heart
valve surgery can take several months.
Recovery includes healing of the surgical
incision,
gradually
building
physical
endurance, and exercising.

Continue to monitor patient condition.
Watch out for symptoms of blood clots and
infections.
An artificial valve may need to be replaced
after a period of time. Should be informed.

Effects from the operation itself (such as bleeding,
infection, and risks associated with anesthesia).
These risks are low.
Blood clotting caused by the new valve. Replacement
with a mechanical valve requires lifelong treatment
with medicine to prevent blood clots (anticoagulant).
Infection in the new valve. Infection is more common
with valve replacement than with valve repair.
Failure of the new valve. Valve failure is more
common with valve replacement than with valve
repair. Bioprosthetic valves last for about 8 to 15
years.

Patient has to stay in the hospital for about a
week, including at least 1 to 3 days in the
Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Recovery after valve surgery may take a long
time, depending on how healthy patient were
before the operation. Patient have to rest and
limit your activities.
Patient have to begin an exercise program or to
join a cardiac rehabilitation program.

Most valve repair and replacement operations are
successful. The outcome of mitral valve replacement
depends on a person's overall health, including other
health conditions.
In some rare cases, a valve repair may fail and another
operation may be needed.
Patients with a biological valve may need to have the
valve replaced in 10 to 15 years. Mechanical valves may
also fail, so patients should alert their doctor if they are
having any symptoms of valve failure.
Patients with a mechanical valve will need to take a
blood-thinning medicine for the rest of their lives.
Because these medicines increase the risk of bleeding
within the body, patient should always wear a medical
alert bracelet and inform doctor or dentist about taking a

Bacteria can enter the bloodstream during these
procedures. If bacteria get into a repaired or
artificial valve, it can lead to a serious condition
called bacterial endocarditis. Antibiotics can
prevent bacterial endocarditis.
Patients
with
mechanical
valves
say
they
sometimes hear a quiet clicking sound in their
chest. This is just the sound of the new valve
opening and closing, In fact, it is a sign that the
new valve is working the way it should.

Minimally invasive heart valve surgery is a
technique that uses smaller incisions to repair
or replace heart valves. This means there is
less pain. Minimally invasive surgery also
reduces the length of the hospital stay and the
recovery time

Minimally invasive valve surgery can only be
done in certain patients. This type of surgery
cannot be done in patients
With severe valve damage
Who need more than one valve repaired or
replaced
Who have clogged arteries (atherosclerosis)
Who are obese

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a
minimally invasive procedure to repair a
damaged or diseased aortic valve. A catheter
is inserted into an artery in the groin and
threaded to the heart. A balloon at the end of
the catheter, with a replacement valve folded
around it, delivers the new valve to take the
place of the old.

Heart valve repair or replacement surgery is a
treatment option for valvular heart disease. When
heart valves become damaged or diseased, they
may not function properly. Conditions which may
cause heart valve dysfunction are valvular stenosis
and valvular insufficiency (regurgitation).When
one (or more) valve(s) becomes stenotic (stiff), the
heart muscle must work harder to pump the blood
through the valve. Template copyright
