About Pulmonary Valve Replacement
Pulmonary valve replacement is heart surgery to replace a leaking or narrowed valve between the right side of the heart and the lungs. It is most often needed by people who had a childhood heart repair.
The operation is done under general anaesthesia with a heart-lung machine. The surgeon removes the diseased valve or worn conduit and sews in a new one, usually a tissue (bioprosthetic) valve, and sometimes a donor homograft or a mechanical valve. In selected people with an earlier conduit, a valve can instead be placed through a catheter without reopening the chest.
Usually a good fit if
- Severe pulmonary regurgitation with a dilating or weakening right ventricle, often after earlier tetralogy repair.
- Significant pulmonary stenosis or a failing conduit with symptoms such as breathlessness or reduced exercise tolerance.
- Heart rhythm problems or right ventricle enlargement on MRI that your cardiologist links to the valve.
May need to wait if
- Active infection, including infective endocarditis, which usually needs treating first.
- Mild leakage without symptoms or ventricular changes, where watchful monitoring is often preferred.
- Severe lung disease or high pulmonary pressures that need specialist assessment before surgery.
How to prepare
- Bring all previous operation reports, echo reports, MRI scans and your congenital heart history.
- Expect an echocardiogram, cardiac MRI or CT, ECG and blood tests to assess right ventricle size and function.
- Have any dental problems treated beforehand, because infected teeth are a risk for a new valve.
- Review blood thinners and other heart medicines with your cardiologist; only change them on their instruction.
- Ask your surgeon when it is safe to fly home after the operation, and arrange a companion for the trip.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Which valve type do you recommend for me, and how long might it last at my age?
- Is a catheter-delivered valve possible in my case, or is open surgery the better option?
- How many pulmonary valve operations in adults with congenital heart disease do you perform each year?
- Will you do any other repair at the same time, such as the tricuspid valve or an arrhythmia procedure?
- Which specialist can monitor my valve and rhythm at home, and what scans will they need?
- Will I need long-term anticoagulants or only antibiotics before dental work?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No congenital heart specialist or paediatric-trained team involved when your history includes earlier repairs.
- No cardiac MRI or detailed imaging of the right ventricle before recommending surgery.
- A single valve option offered with no discussion of tissue versus mechanical or catheter alternatives.
- No plan for long-term imaging follow-up of the valve.
