Width 300 System MeshName Pulmonary Valve MeshNumber A07.541.510.738 The pulmonary valve sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve is the heart valves semilunar valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and has three cusps. Similar to the aortic valve , the pulmonary valve opens in cardiac cycle ventricular systole , when the pressure in the right ventricle rises above the pressure in the pulmonary artery. At the end of ventricular systole, when the pressure in the right ventricle falls rapidly, the pressure in the pulmonary artery will close the pulmonary valve. The closure of the pulmonary valve contributes the P2 component of the second heart sound S2 . The right heart is a low pressure system, so the P2 component of the second heart sound is usually softer than the A2 component of the second heart sound. However, it is physiologically normal in some young people to hear both components separated during inhalation . Additional images gallery Image Gray493.png Interior of right side of heart.

A pulmonary tractotomy is a surgical technique to treat a penetrating lung injury . The tract of the lung injury is opened, and open bronchi and blood vessels are ligated sewn . Treatment of penetrating lung injuries Emergency surgery for a penetrating lung injury, e.g. an accident or a gunshot, is associated with a very high mortality rate . Such lung injuries cannot be treated with simple surgery they cannot be oversewn. If treated with simple surgery, blood vessels within the tract of the lung injury may continue to bleed and result in a haematoma which should be avoided. Or the patient may suffer a pulmonary air embolism and subsequently die. Penetrating lung injuries can be treated with a formal lung resection, or with pulmonary tractotomy. Comparison of treatments Pulmonary tractotomy is a lung sparing technique. It can prevent the need for formal lung resection. Its advantages over segmental lung resection include that it can be performed quicker it offers a rapid way to control bleeding haemorrhage and air leaks in patients with penetrating lung injuries.
