Aortic Valve Repair in Children and Teens

This video explains aortic regurgitation and provides an overview of methods to treat damaged and diseased aortic valves. http://www.chop.edu/valve-center In this video: 0:34 How does the heart work? 1:16 What is a heart valve? 1:45 Aortic regurgitation and repair Jonathan Chen, MD, Chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Co-director of the Pediatric Heart Valve Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), explains what to expect with aortic valve repair. Aortic regurgitation develops when the aortic valve leaflets become retracted, prolapsed or distorted in some other way, preventing the heart from efficiently pumping blood to the rest of the body. Aortic regurgitation requires surgery to treat the damaged aortic valve. A retracted valve is drawn in, and the leaflets don’t meet when they close. To repair a retracted valve, a surgeon usually performs a valve extension using tissue from the pericardium. A prolapsed valve has leaflets that droop. A surgeon will adjust or remove parts of the valve until all the leaflets meet. In some cases, a surgeon may replace entire leaflets with tissue from the pericardium. This is called the Ozaki procedure. Another cause of valve damage is infection, which may cause a perforation in the valve leaflets. A surgeon will use tissue from the pericardium to patch the hole and treat the diseased aortic valve. Aortic valve repair is highly individualized. The team of world-leading experts at CHOP’s Pediatric Heart Valve Center uses cutting-edge imaging to view each patient’s heart before surgery and develop a highly personalized surgical plan based on a child’s unique anatomy.
