Pulmonary Regurgitation

Pulmonary regurgitation is a condition where blood is leaked back into the right side of the heart instead of moving into the lungs as the pulmonary valve does not close properly. Difficulty in breathing, fatigue, chest discomfort, heart palpitations, cyanosis, swelling in the legs or feet, etc., are the symptoms of pulmonary regurgitation. Pulmonary valve replacement, conduit replacement, etc., are the surgical procedures done to correct pulmonary regurgitation.
