 | | Pulmonic regurgitation is a condition in which the pulmonic valve allows blood to flow back into the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery. | | | Valvular heart problems can be corrected surgically, by direct repair of the valve, replacement of the damaged valve with an artificial valve, or by a nonsurgical technique called balloon valvuloplasty. | | | Decreased left ventricular function, which can prevent surgery in other conditions, is not a reason to avoid surgery in aortic stenosis. |

| | Valve repair is now the method of choice for surgical treatment of mitral valve disease thanks to improvements in techniques over the past 20 years. | | | Valve surgery today at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation offers patients many treatment options with excellent long-term results. | | | This is a very complex procedure, however it has many benefits, especially for young patients with pulmonic valve disease. |

| | THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 19, Ch. 261, Congenital Anomalies |
| | Some heavily dysplastic valves may require surgical valvotomy. | | | Aortic valve stenosis accounts for about 5% of clinically apparent cardiac defects, but the true prevalence of undiagnosed bicuspid aortic valve is probably much higher, and it is likely the most common cardiac anomaly. | | | Treatment is needed for heart failure, and early surgical repair is indicated using a valved conduit between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries that are being surgically removed from the truncus arteriosus. |

| | Valve Insufficiency |
| | Typically, valves on the left side of the heart (mitral and aortic) are affected more often than valves on the right side of the heart (tricuspid and pulmonic). | | | For example, one study found that radiation of the chest, a common treatment for lymphoma and other types of cancers, might lead to heart valve disfunction in some cases. |

| | In general, however, the procedure has been proven to be both effective and safe, and in 80-90% or more of patients in the follow-up studies available thus far (covering 5-10 years of experience) there has been good relief of PS, no significant valve leakage, and a very low incidence of complications. | | | After the dilation of the valve is completed, pressures are remeasured as described above. | | | The tubes are then withdrawn from the vessels, and pressure is applied to the entrance sites with sterile gauze using arm pressure or with weights placed over the sites. |

| | Valve stenosis |
| | Tricuspid valve stenosis is similar to mitral valve stenosis except that the pressure and volume changes occur on the right side of the heart. | | | Aortic valve stenosis is characterized by the left ventricular pressure being much greater than aortic pressure during left ventricular ejection (shaded gray in figure). | | | The effects of mitral stenosis on ventricular filling can be appreciated better by examining the changes in the LV pressure-volume loop. |

| | Until this is done, drugs may be used. | | | This procedure allows doctors to evaluate the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart and accurately measure the pressure in the pulmonic valve. | | | Replacement of the pulmonary valve may be necessary, and additional surgery may be needed to improve the flow of blood from the right ventricle as the child grows older. |

| | eMedicine - Pulmonic Regurgitation : Article by Pablo J Saavedra, MD |
| | Background: The pulmonic valve is normally a tricuspid structure that functions to prevent right ventricular outflow from returning to the right ventricle once ejected into the low-pressure pulmonary circulation. | | | If pulmonary hypertension is identified with pulmonic regurgitation, determining the etiology is essential in order to institute appropriate therapy as expeditiously as possible. | | | In a series of 186 patients from a congenital heart disease registry with varying degrees of pulmonary and/or tricuspid regurgitation and normal pulmonic and tricuspid valves, the investigators observed that the occurrence of pulmonic and tricuspid valve endocarditis was extremely low. |

| | The valves that are most frequently involved with disorders that require surgical treatment are the valves on the left side: the aortic valve and the mitral valve. | | | Conditions that involve the valves on the right side, the tricuspid valve and the pulmonary valve, are much less common, but may also require surgical treatment. | | | Some heart valve conditions such as aortic regurgitation (leakage of the aortic valve) or mitral regurgitation (leakage of the mitral valve) can produce important changes in the function and structure of the heart before symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath develop. |

| | Similarly, as the pressure in the right ventricle falls below the pressure in the pulmonary artery, the pulmonic valve will close. | | | During inspiration, the negative intrathoracic pressure causes increased blood return into the right side of the heart. | | | However, the murmurs produced often change with the severity of the cardiac disease. |

| | The severity of this condition depends on how narrow the pulmonic valve is. If it is very narrow the baby would be very blue from birth and may need immediate surgical attention. | | | This may cause the baby to be blue. | | | Since the pulmonic valve which allows the blood to go from the right side to the lungs is small, not all the blood can pass to the lungs and some of it is forced to go directly to the body bypassing the lungs. |
