2. Valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_replacement

   Current aortic valve replacement approaches include closed heart surgery, Very invasive cardiac surgery (VICS) and Very invasive, Scapulae-based aortic valve replacement. Catheter replacement of the aortic valve (called trans-aortic valve replacement or implementation [TAVR or TAVI]) is a minimally invasive option for those suffering from ...

3. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

   The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.The function of the valve is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole, and to close to prevent backflow (regurgitation) from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular ...

4. Tricuspid valve stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve_stenosis

   Tricuspid valve stenosis itself usually does not require treatment. If stenosis is mild, monitoring the condition closely suffices. However, severe stenosis, or damage to other valves in the heart, may require surgical repair or replacement. The treatment is usually by surgery (tricuspid valve replacement) or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty ...

5. 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.

6. Off-pump coronary artery bypass - Wikipedia

   [2] [3] This results in a very low risk of stroke, actually less than occurs during percutaneous coronary intervention. [ 4 ] In addition to off-pump surgery being associated with the clinical benefits of a reduced risk of stroke or memory problems, patients also typically have a faster recovery and shorter hospital stay, fewer blood ...

   A recent paper reports that the use of the drug tenecteplase, not yet approved for stroke treatment in the U.S., may lead to slightly better outcomes after a stroke than the commonly used alteplase.
