Q

Mitral valve surgery usually involves ____

A

repair (instead of replacement)

If replaced, POSTERIOR leaflet is kept because the chordae tendinae is attached to this, so the pumping ability of the heart is preserved to a greater degree.

A
Rheumatic
Endocarditis
Trauma  (can avulse or tear leaflets)
Carcinoid
Myxoma
Diffuse collagen disorders

Tricuspid ring valvuloplasty /repair is for

A

Symptomatic severe disease of functional mitral regurg
OR
Moderate-severe MR when performing other concomitant valve or coronary procedures

35
Q

Pulmonary valve - mainly ______

A

congenital lesions - Tetrology, Pulm atresia

36
Q

Ross procedure

opening snap

42
Q

Mitral stenosis - CXR
