Exam 3 Flashcards
Transcatheter Mitral clip
-replacing the Alferi stitch
-clip placed on leaflets tips to hold together
-blood flows on sides of clip
-brought through the LA to LV
Annuloplasty
-D shaped ring placed in left atrium and brings the MV closer together
Surgical Mitral Valve Prolapse Repair
-minimally invasive
-triangular resection of sagging scallop
-annular ring is sewn in to tighten annulus
-anterior repair may involve chordal transfer/creation of new chords
-repairs followed by annular ring
Homograft Valve
-cryopreserved human aortic or pulmonic valves harvested at autopsy (human to human donation)
-valve conduit: valve with portion of great vessel
-typically preserved as a block
Autograft Valves
self to self donation
Artificial Valve Conduits
fabric like tube with implanted mechanical valve
Bioprosthetic Tissue Valve
heterografts
animal to human donation
3 types: stented (porcine), stentless, catheter
Mechanical Valves
made of carbon to titanium
-2 types: Tiilting Disk or Bileaflet
Composition of Bioprosthetic Stented
-leaflets or pericardium shaped to mimic leaflets, mounted on cloth covered rigid support ring with a raised stent at each of the 3 commissures
Composition of Bioprosthetic Stentless
-flexible cuff of fabric or tissue support the valve leaflets
-coronary arteries may need to be reattached
Composition of Catheter
-transcatheter aortic valve replacement “TAVR”
-tissue leaflets mounted on compressible stent
Specially designed bioprosthetic vavles implanted by transcatheter approach with tissue leaflets mounted on compressible stent
Mechanical Bileaflet
-two semicircular disks hinged on sewing ring
-two thin lines of reverberation
-2 large lateral inflow
-1 small central inflow
Mechanical Tilting disk
-singular circular disk supported on central strut running across the sewing ring
-major and minor inflow
-one thick line of reverberation
Ross Procedure
-self to self donation
-AV is replaced with child’s own PV = pulmonary autograft
-homograft put in PV position
Advantage and disadvantage of Bioprosthetic
Advantage: does not require anticoagulation therapy
Disadvantage: average longevity is 10 years due to degenerative calcific process
