Q

Advantage and disadvantage of Bioprosthetic

A

Advantage: does not require anticoagulation therapy
Disadvantage: average longevity is 10 years due to degenerative calcific process

16
Q

Advantage and disadvantage of Mechanical

A

Advantage: longevity due to durability
Disadvantage: lifelong anticoagulation therapy

17
Q

Bioprosthetic Valve Stenosis

A

-fibrocalcific changes of leaflets
-results in resistance to opening

18
Q

Bioprosthetic Valve Regurgitation

A

-fibrocalcific changes of leaflets
-results in failure to coapt
-acute regurgitation: if calcium tears leaflets
-paravalvular regurgitation: loss of suture material postoperatively

19
Q

Mechanical Valve Stenosis

A

-due to thrombus formation or pannus ingrowth around valve
-failure due to faulty design or wear & tear resulting in incomplete valve closure or disk escape

20
Q

Mechanical Valve Regurgitation

A

-due to thrombus formation or pannus ingrowth around valve
-failure due to faulty design or wear & tear resulting in incomplete valve closure or disk escape
-paravalvular regurgitation: loss of suture material postoperatively

21
Q

Paravalvular Regurgitation

A

-loss of suture material postoperatively
-regurgitation between tissue and sewing ring

22
Q

Dehiscense

A

-major loss of sutures thus sewing ring is no longer adequately seated and the prosthesis rises off the annulus
-“rocking” motion of prosthetic

23
Q

Endocarditis on bioprosthetic

A

-presents as vegetations

24
Q

Endocarditis on mechanical

A

-presents as paravalvular abscess
-pocket of infection separating the valve from the sewing ring

25
Q

2D appearance on Bioprosthetic Stented

A

-hard to visualize 3 leaflets
-metal struts appear as crown

26
Q

2D appearance on Bioprosthetic Stentless

A

-similar to native AV
-increased echogenicity

27
Q

2D appearance on Transcatheter

A

-increased echogenicity of para-annular region

28
Q

2D appearance on Mechanical

A

-severe reverberations and acoustic shadowing
-spontaneous contrast due to microcavitation

29
Q

Doppler tracing through Prosthetic and Mechanical

A

-greater intensity opening and closing clicks
-can cause color flash artifact
-due to occluder, disk, or tissue leaflets hitting sewing ring
-triangular shaped envelopes in mechanical valves

30
Q

Color flow regurgitation pattern on prosthetic

A

Bioprosthetic: central regurgitation
TAVR: mild paravalvular

31
Q

Color flow regurgitation pattern on mechanical

A

Mechanical: crisscross jets, small regurgitant jet circumferentially, closure line regurgitation on tilting disk

32
Q

Baseline Echo

A

-secure within 3 months of valve replacement
-evaluation of regression of LV hypertrophy or dilation
-evaluation of recovery of systolic function
-evaluation of changes in pulmonary pressures
