  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpericardiotomy_syndrome

    Postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) is an immune phenomenon that occurs days to months (usually 1–6 weeks [1]) after surgical incision of the pericardium (membranes encapsulating the human heart). [2] PPS can also be caused after a trauma, a puncture of the cardiac or pleural structures (such as a bullet or stab wound), after percutaneous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_engineering_of...

    Tissue engineered heart valves (TEHV) offer a new and advancing proposed treatment of creating a living heart valve for people who are in need of either a full or partial heart valve replacement. Currently, there are over a quarter of a million prosthetic heart valves implanted annually, [ 1 ] and the number of patients requiring replacement ...

  5. Coronary stent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent

    Various techniques of pain management and anesthesia are practiced during current PCI stent placement procedures. [7] The catheter/stent system is introduced into the body by penetrating a peripheral artery (an artery located in the arm or leg) and passed through the arterial system to deliver the DES into the blocked coronary artery.

  6. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_coronary...

    After the balloon inflation/deflation or the deposition of the stent, the placement device/deflated balloon are removed leaving the stent in place. [21] [22] The interventional cardiologist decides how to treat the blockage in the best way during the PCI/stent placement, based on real-time data.

  7. Aortic stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

    Aortic valve repair or aortic valve reconstruction describes the reconstruction of both form and function of the native and dysfunctioning aortic valve. Most frequently it is applied for the treatment of aortic regurgitation. It can also become necessary for the treatment of an aortic aneurysm, less frequently for congenital aortic stenosis. [53]

  8. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_aortic_valve...

    The valve is repositionable before release to ensure accurate placement helping to improve patient outcomes. [12] Edwards' Sapien aortic valve is made from bovine pericardial tissue and is implanted via a catheter-based delivery system. It is approved by the FDA for use in the US. [10] [11] [12]

  9. Restenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restenosis

    [15] [16] The balloon avoids the need for a double layer of metal which is used when an in-stent restenosis is treated with another stent within the original stent. Additionally, DCB treatment does not leave an implant in the body and is designed for faster drug delivery. Alternative treatments include brachytherapy, or intracoronary radiation ...
