Pulmonic regurgitation prognosis
Introduction
Prognosis
Prognosis
- The prognosis of pulmonic regurgitation depends on the etiology, severity of the condition, and associated complications.[1]
- Mild to moderate PR is not associated with shortened survival.[1]
- The prognosis of symptomatic patients of PR is good after pulmonary valve replacement.[2] Surgical Pulmonic Valve Repair (PVR) improves right ventricular filling and increases left ventricular stroke volume.[3] Ten year overall and event-free survival after PVR is 98% and 70%, respectively.[4]
- Among patients with pulmonary hypertension (PAH), the severity and duration of PAH determines the ultimate prognosis.
- The prognosis of PR due to congenital absence of pulmonic valve is poor and may limit patient‘s life expectancy in the absence of valve replacement. Absent pulmonary valve (APVS) is associated with severe regurgitation and complications secondary to respiratory distress.[5]
