Patients with ventricular secondary tricuspid regurgitation have dilatation of the right ventricle (mainly the midventricular free wall), leading to apical displacement of the papillary muscles ...
Yarlagadda RK et al. (2005) Reversal of cardiomyopathy in patients with repetitive monomorphic ventricular ectopy originating from the right ventricular outflow tract.
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction is the term given to abnormalities of the pulmonary valve (one of the valves in the heart) and the right ventricular outflow tract. It causes blood ...
Right ventricular hypertrophy Ventricular septal defect Overriding aorta (aorta displaced to the right, near the VSD) Pulmonic valve stenosis (right ventricular outflow tract obstruction) This ...
He suggests that ventricular dilation and/or hypertrophy may have contributed to the frequent ventricular ectopy found in this study.
Diagnosis: Vagally mediated ventricular fibrillation initiated by premature ventricular complexes arising from the right ventricular outflow tract.
Total correction: The hole in the ventricular septum (between the ventricles) is closed with a patch and the obstruction to right ventricular outflow, pulmonic stenosis, is opened.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) System, a non-surgical heart valve to treat patients with native or surgically-repaired right ...
Approximately 20% of CHD patients have structural malformations that disrupt the connection between the heart and the lungs, called the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).
The first operation (stage I) is the Norwood procedure, in which the right ventricle is connected to a reconstructed aorta with the use of the proximal main pulmonary artery for systemic outflow.
Treating right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction with an artificial valve implanted using a catheter Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction is the term given to abnormalities of the ...
