🗑
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)  
🗑

🗑
stenosis:   narrowing or obstruction of a cardiac valve’s orifice  
🗑

🗑
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)  
🗑
