| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| allograft: | heart valve replacement made from a human heart valve (synonym: |
| annuloplasty: | repair of a cardiac valve’s outer ring |
| aortic valve: | semilunar valve located between the left ventricle and the aorta |
| autograft: | heart valve replacement made from the patient’s own heart valve (eg, the pulmonic valve is excised and used as an aortic valve) |
| cardiomyopathy: | disease of the heart muscle |
| chordae tendineae: | nondistensible fibrous strands connecting papillary muscles to atrioventricular (mitral, tricuspid) valve leaflets |
| chordoplasty: | repair of the chordae tendineae |
| commissurotomy: | splitting or separating fused cardiac valve leaflets |
| heterograft: | heart valve replacement made of tissue from an animal heart valve (synonym: |
| homograft: | heart valve replacement made from a human heart valve (synonym: |
| leaflet repair: | repair of a cardiac valve’s movable “flaps” (leaflets) |
| mitral valve: | atrioventricular valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle |
| orthotopic transplantation: | the recipient’s heart is removed and a donor heart is grafted into the same site; the patient has one heart |
| prolapse (of a valve): | stretching of an atrioventricular heart valve leaflet into the atrium during systole |
| pulmonic valve: | semilunar valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery |
| regurgitation: | backward flow of blood through a heart valve |
| stenosis: | narrowing or obstruction of a cardiac valve’s orifice |
| total artificial heart: | mechanical device used to aid a failing heart, assisting the right and left ventricles |
| tricuspid valve: | atrioventricular valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle |
| valve replacement: | insertion of a device at the site of a malfunctioning heart valve to restore blood flow in one direction through the heart |
| valvuloplasty: | repair of a stenosed or regurgitant cardiac valve by commissurotomy, annuloplasty, leaflet repair, or chordoplasty (or a combination of procedures) |
| ventricular assist device: | mechanical device used to aid a failing right or left ventricle |
| xenograft: | heart valve replacement made of tissue from an animal heart valve (synonym:heterograft) |
