An artificial heart valve is needed if your natural valve is leaking beyond a point that is causing the chambers (ventricles) to enlarge thus reducing blood flow through the lungs and creating increased pulmonary pressure. With a new valve the back pressure is eliminated and the heart becomes a much more effective pump.

Plastic valves are often used in surgical procedures involving the heart. Heart valve surgery is used to replace or repair diseased heart valves. Artificial valves last around 8-20 years.

Pericardial heart valves:

The pericardial heart valve was invented by Marian Ionescu, a British surgeon working at the General Infirmary in Leeds, England.[1] He created this artificial bioprosthetic heart valve as a three cusp structure made of chemically treated bovine pericardium attached on to a Dacron cloth covered Titanium frame.[2]

There are two kinds of artificial hearts, an implantable temporary and totally implanted permanent artificial hearts. The function of the artificial heart is to pump blood around the body the same way a normal heart does. IMPLANTABLE TEMPORARY-This is only used in patients for a short time during an operation until a real heart is transplanted into the patient. TOTALLY IMPLANTED PERMANENT- This is used in patients for the remainder of their lives due to faulty heart conditions beyond a transplant.

The valve between the heart and the aorta is the aortic valve, and the valve between the heart and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonic valve.

1 answer


Normal anatomy

There are four valves in the heart: aortic valve, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve. The valves are designed to control the direction of blood flow through the heart. The opening and closing of the heart valves produce the heart-beat sounds.

Indications

Heart valve replacement may be recommended for:

  • narrowing of the heart valve (stenosis)
  • leaking of the heart valve

Valve problems may be caused by infections (rheumatic fever) or birth defects and may cause heart failure (congestive heart failure) and infections (infective endocarditis).

The surgery is done while the patient is deep-asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia). An incision is made through the breast bone (sternum).

Procedure, part 1

Heart valve surgery is open-heart surgery. Tubes are used to re-route the blood away from the heart to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the blood oxygenated and circulating while the heart is being operated on.

Procedure, part 2

Valves may be repaired or replaced. Replacement heart valves are either natural (biologic) or artificial (mechanical). Natural valves are from human donors (cadavers), modified natural valves are from animal donors (porcine: pigs) which are placed in synthetic rings, and artificial valves are made of metal or plastic. Natural valves rarely require life-long medication to prevent blood clot formation (anticoagulation), whereas artificial valves will require anticoagulation.

The advantage of mechanical valves is that they last longer-thus, the tradeoff of lifelong anticoagulation in some cases is worth it to avoid a second valve replacement surgery.

Procedure, part 3

The ineffective mitral valve is removed and the heart valve replacement is sutured into place.

Aftercare

The rate of success of heart valve surgery is high and increasing. The operation provides symptom relief and prolongs life. The death rate varies depending on the heart valve and averages 2% to 5%. Approximately 2 out of 3 patients who received an artificial mitral valve are still alive 9 years after the surgery. Life-long anticoagulant therapy is necessary for patients with artificial heart valves. The clicking of the mechanical heart valve may be heard in the chest and is normal.

The first 2 or 3 days following the operation are spent in an intensive care unit where heart functions can be monitored constantly. The average hospital stay is 1 - 2 weeks. A few weeks to several months should be allowed for complete recovery, depending on health before surgery.

The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the heart's left ventricle to the aorta, which is the body's main artery. It opens to allow blood to be pumped out of the heart and closes to prevent blood from leaking back into the heart.

Yes, Staphylococcus epidermidis can cause prosthetic valve endocarditis. It is a common opportunistic pathogen associated with infections related to medical devices, such as prosthetic heart valves. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and, in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the infected valve.

thankyou above man. the actual answer is this: A heart valve has saved my life. One disadvantage of a mechanical valve is that you have to take a coumadin/warfarin drug to prevent clots on the valve - however the mechanical valves tend to last longer than others (you may not need surgery as soon as if you had another one)

A full heart transplant will first require the availability of a heart - someone else might need it more. If you can get by with a valve, I recommend that route. thanyou for your time. :D

The artificial is used in place of an actual heart transplant. The reasons are because there are MANY risks in having a heart transplant, so some patients would prefer an artificial heart transplant. There are also many risks with this operation, too. The heart is made up of real blood and tissue, whereas the artificial heart is merely plastic.

the tricuspid valve is a valve so the flow of blood does not go backwards through the heart. It is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle in the heart. You can pull up a picture in google of the lableing of the heart and can see the tricuspid valve in the heart.
