Surgical management of [[pulmonic regurgitation]] may include [[pulmonary valve]] replacement (PVR). The major indications for PVR may include symptomatic [[patients]] with [[arrythmias]] or [[NYHA]] class higher than II, an [[ejection fraction]] of less than 40% when assessed with [[CMR]], patients with progressive right ventricular [[regurgitation]](right ventricular [[end- diastolic volume]] ≥160 mL/m2 or [[end-systolic volume]] ≥82 mL/m2 on CMR), moderate to severe [[tricuspid valve regurgitation]], resulting from annular dilatation, [[patients]] at risk of developing [[arrythmias]] and with prolonged [[QRS]] duration.(total [[QRS]] duration ≥180 msec, or QRS duration increase >3.5 msec per year and severe [[pulmonic regurgitation]] among [[patients]] with another cardiac lesion that requires operative intervention. Timing of pulmonary [[valve replacement]] is not well defined. However timely intervention is advised before the onset of [[RV dysfunction]]. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) by surgical and [[percutaneous]] approach is the definitive treatment for the management of [[chronic PR]] and has proven to improve [[RV]] function, [[New York Heart Association]] Functional Class status, quality of life, and reduce risk for development of RV [[tachyarrhythmias]] and [[sudden cardiac death]]. Among [[patients]] with [[arrhythmias]], intraoperative electrophysiological mapping with [[cryoablation]] during [[pulmonary valve]] replacement has demonstrated promising results.

Overview

Surgical management of pulmonic regurgitation may include pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). The major indications for PVR may include symptomatic patients with arrythmias or NYHA class higher than II, an ejection fraction of less than 40% when assessed with CMR, patients with progressive right ventricular regurgitation(right ventricular end- diastolic volume ≥160 mL/m2 or end-systolic volume ≥82 mL/m2 on CMR), moderate to severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, resulting from annular dilatation, patients at risk of developing arrythmias and with prolonged QRS duration.(total QRS duration ≥180 msec, or QRS duration increase >3.5 msec per year and severe pulmonic regurgitation among patients with another cardiac lesion that requires operative intervention. Timing of pulmonary valve replacement is not well defined. However timely intervention is advised before the onset of RV dysfunction. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) by surgical and percutaneous approach is the definitive treatment for the management of chronic PR and has proven to improve RV function, New York Heart Association Functional Class status, quality of life, and reduce risk for development of RV tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Among patients with arrhythmias, intraoperative electrophysiological mapping with cryoablation during pulmonary valve replacement has demonstrated promising results.

Surgical therapy

Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is one of the most common procedures performed among adults with congenital heart disease, due to different diseases causing regurgitation or stenosis. Patients may undergo reoperations during their lifetime.[1]

Indications for Surgery

Indications for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) include:[2][3][4][1]

Timing Of Surgery

Choice of prosthetic valve

Surgical Options

Surgical Valve Implantation

Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement

Complications

Outcomes

  • Patients with percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement have good outcome and are free of reintervention at 1year.[31]
  • Patients with CMR derived pre operative right ventricular end diastolic volume index of less than 160ml/m² and end systolic volume index of less than 80ml/m² showed better outcomes. [8][32][33]

Treatment of arrhythmia
