2. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

   Aortic valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure whereby a failing aortic valve is replaced with an artificial heart valve. The aortic valve may need to be replaced because of aortic regurgitation (back flow), or if the valve is narrowed by stenosis .

3. Dor procedure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dor_procedure

   The Dor procedure is a medical technique used as part of heart surgery and originally introduced by the French cardiac surgeon Vincent Dor (b.1932). [1] It is also known as endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP). In 1985, Dor introduced EVCPP as a viable method for restoring a dilated left ventricle (LV) to its normal, elliptical geometry.

4. Valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_replacement

   Valve replacement surgery is the replacement of one or more of the heart valves with either an artificial heart valve or a bioprosthesis (homograft from human tissue or xenograft e.g. from pig). It is an alternative to valve repair .

5. Heart valve repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_valve_repair

   Mitral valve repair is mainly used to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. [citation needed] A mitral balloon valvuloplasty enlarges the valve opening to allow greater oxygenated blood flow into the left ventricle, and since severe mitral regurgitation can be a major complication, degrees of stenosis, regurgitation, and valve anatomical features are taken ...

   Advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday backed an approval for Abbott Laboratories' heart valve repair device that is designed for patients who are at risk of complications or ...

7. Docking (molecular) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docking_(molecular)

   During the course of the docking process, the ligand and the protein adjust their conformation to achieve an overall "best-fit" and this kind of conformational adjustment resulting in the overall binding is referred to as "induced-fit". [5] Molecular docking research focuses on computationally simulating the molecular recognition process.

8. Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_Aortic_Tissue_Valve

   The implantation of the Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve typically involves open-heart surgery. [14] During the procedure, the damaged or diseased native aortic valve is removed, and the prosthetic valve is sutured in its place. The secure attachment of the valve is crucial to ensure proper functionality and prevent complications such as leakage.

9. Artificial heart valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart_valve

   An artificial heart valve is a one-way valve implanted into a person's heart to replace a heart valve that is not functioning properly (valvular heart disease). Artificial heart valves can be separated into three broad classes: mechanical heart valves, bioprosthetic tissue valves and engineered tissue valves.
