The development of prosthetic heart valves has been an important advance in the treatment of patients with serious valvular cardiac disease. Because there are many types of prosthetic valves, we have prepared a diagram of the valves currently or previously used and list their potential complications. Prosthetic valves were identified according to photographic and radiologic features, valve replacement location, and reported associated complications. Data have been compiled in tabular form for quick reference; valves have been identified according to valve base, cage, and poppet. They may be categorized as caged-ball or low-profile valves. Such information helps to provide recognition of the valve that has been inserted and permits the clinician or radiologist to be alert to possible complications with the various prosthetic devices.
人工心脏瓣膜的发展是重症心脏瓣膜病患者治疗领域的一项重要进展。由于人工瓣膜有多种类型，我们绘制了当前或既往使用的瓣膜示意图，并列出了它们可能出现的并发症。根据瓣膜的影像特征、瓣膜置换位置及报告的相关并发症来识别人工瓣膜。数据已整理成表格形式以便快速查阅；瓣膜根据瓣座、瓣架和球瓣进行识别。它们可分为笼球瓣或低外形瓣膜。这些信息有助于识别已植入的瓣膜，并使临床医生或放射科医生警惕各种人工瓣膜装置可能出现的并发症。
