PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -tricuspid valve: located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. pulmonary valve: located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. mitral valve: located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. aortic valve: located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-2: -A doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube (catheter) with a balloon on the tip into an artery in your arm or groin and guides it to the affected valve. The balloon is inflated, which expands the opening of the heart valve. Doctors then deflate the balloon and remove the catheter and balloon.

Detailed explanation-3: -After an aortic valve replacement, you’ll usually need to stay in hospital for about a week. The time it takes to fully recover varies depending on factors like your age and overall health. Your breastbone will usually heal in about 6 to 8 weeks, but it may be 2 to 3 months before you feel your normal self again.
