Tricuspid valve replacement with a fresh antibiotic preserved tricuspid homograft.
Prosthetic replacement of valves in children is limited by size constraints of the prosthesis and lack of growth potential. In specific situations like infective endocarditis, valve preservation is near impossible and in such instances alternatives are hard to get. Furthermore, in the tricuspid position the long-term results of both mechanical and bioprosthesis are not optimal. We used an innov...
متن کاملFeasibility of tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement in a patient with transvalvular pacemaker
Introduction Transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement is an attractive alternative to redo open-heart surgery for failing bioprosthetic valves and is increasingly being performed in patients with high surgical risk. Unlike the robust data on aortic valve-in-valve replacement, limited experience with tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement has been reported. Moreover, the feasibility and safety of ...
متن کاملFabrication and characterization of nanofibrous tricuspid valve scaffold based on polyurethane for heart valve tissue engineering
Objective(s): Tissue engineering represents a new approach to solve the current complications of the heart valve replacements by offering viable valve prosthesis with growth and remodeling capability. In this project, electrospinning and dip coating techniques were used to fabricate heart valve constructs from medical grade polyurethane (PU). Methods: Fir...
متن کاملIs tricuspid valve really tricuspid?
Advancement in imaging techniques and interventional cardiology procedures have generated renewed interest in anatomy of tricuspid valve complex. The purpose of the present study was to characterize the morphology of tricuspid valve leaflets using objective criteria. Thirty-six embalmed cadaveric hearts were utilized for the present study. Leaflet morphology was studied using newly defined crit...
متن کاملIs tricuspid valve replacement a catastrophic operation?
OBJECTIVE Tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) has a high postoperative mortality, despite recent advances in perioperative care. We report the results of our experience in TVR with an emphasis on early mortality and morbidity and long-term follow-up. METHODS Between October 1994 and August 2007, 80 consecutive TVRs were performed in 78 patients. The mean age was 48+/-14 (range: 20-70) years. Th...
