Valve replacement
Intervention
ICD-9-CM	35.2

Valve replacement surgery is the replacement of one or more of the heart valves with either an artificial heart valve or a bioprosthesis (homograft from human tissue or xenograft e.g. from pig). It is an alternative to valve repair.

There are four procedures:

Healthcare science – Medicine · Surgery · Cardiac procedures (ICD-9-CM V3 35-37+89.4+99.6, ICD-10-PCS 02)

Surgery and IC

Heart valves and septa	Valve repair · Valvulotomy · Mitral valve repair · Valvuloplasty (aortic, mitral) Valve replacement - Aortic valve replacement (Ross procedure, Percutaneous aortic valve replacement) · Mitral valve replacement production of septal defect in heart: enlargement of existing septal defect (Atrial septostomy, Balloon septostomy) · creation of septal defect in heart (Blalock-Hanlon procedure) shunt from heart chamber to blood vessel: atrium to pulmonary artery (Fontan procedure) · left ventricle to aorta (Rastelli procedure) · right ventricle to pulmonary artery (Sano shunt) compound procedures: for transposition of great vessels (Jatene procedure, Mustard procedure) · for univentricular defect (Norwood procedure, Kawashima procedure) shunt from blood vessel to blood vessel: systemic circulation to pulmonary artery shunt (Blalock-Taussig shunt) · SVC to the right PA (Glenn procedure)

Cardiac vessels	CHD: Angioplasty · Bypass/Coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB · Off-pump CAB · TECAB) Coronary stent: Bare-metal stent · Drug-eluting stent Bentall procedure · Valve-sparing aortic root replacement

Other	Pericardium: Pericardiocentesis · Pericardial window · Pericardiectomy Myocardium: Cardiomyoplasty · Dor procedure · Septal myectomy · Ventricular reduction · Alcohol septal ablation Conduction system: Maze procedure (Cox maze and minimaze) · Catheter ablation (Cryoablation, Radiofrequency ablation) · Pacemaker insertion Left atrial appendage occlusion · Cardiotomy · Heart transplantation
