Front 1

allograft

Back 1

heart valve replacement made from a human heart valve (synonym: homograft)

Front 2

annuloplasty

Back 2

repair of a cardiac valve's outer ring

Front 3

aortic valve

Back 3

semilunar valve located between the left ventricle and the aorta

Front 4

autograft

Back 4

heart valve replacement made from the patient's own heart valve (eg, the pulmonic valve is excised and used as an aortic valve)

Front 5

cardiomyopathy

Back 5

disease of the heart muscle

Front 6

chordae tendineae

Back 6

nondistensible fibrous strands connecting papillary muscles to atrioventricular (mitral, tricuspid) valve leaflets

Front 7

chordoplasty

Back 7

repair of the chordae tendineae

Front 8

commissurotomy

Back 8

splitting or separating fused cardiac valve leaflets

Front 9

heterograft

Back 9

heart valve replacement made of tissue from an animal heart valve (synonym: xenograft)

Front 10

homograft

Back 10

heart valve replacement made from a human heart valve (synonym: allograft)

Front 11

leaflet repair

Back 11

repair of a cardiac valve's movable “flaps” (leaflets)

Front 12

mitral valve

Back 12

atrioventricular valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle

Front 13

orthotopic transplantation

Back 13

the recipient's heart is removed and a donor heart is grafted into the same site the patient has one heart

Front 14

prolapse (of a valve)

Back 14

stretching of an atrioventricular heart valve leaflet into the atrium during systole

Front 15

pulmonic valve

Back 15

semilunar valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery

Front 16

regurgitation

Back 16

backward flow of blood through a heart valve

Front 17

stenosis

Back 17

narrowing or obstruction of a cardiac valve's orifice

Front 18

total artificial heart

Back 18

mechanical device used to aid a failing heart, assisting the right and left ventricles

Front 19

tricuspid valve

Back 19

atrioventricular valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle

Front 20

valve replacement

Back 20

insertion of a device at the site of a malfunctioning heart valve to restore blood flow in one direction through the heart

Front 21

valvuloplasty

Back 21

repair of a stenosed or regurgitant cardiac valve by commissurotomy, annuloplasty, leaflet repair, or chordoplasty (or a combination of procedures)

Front 22

ventricular assist device

Back 22

mechanical device used to aid a failing right or left ventricle

Front 23

xenograft

Back 23

heart valve replacement made of tissue from an animal heart valve (synonym: heterograft)
