#structural procedure
- Atriocommissuropexy — A complex and rare surgical procedure consisting of the operative fixation of a cardiac valvular commissure to the atrial wall, utilized for the structural correction of congenital malformations or severe valvular insufficiencies. This technical reconstruction method aims to restore normal blood flow dynamics and prevent parasitic intracardiac regurgitation.
- Atriotomy — A surgical incision made into the muscular wall of a cardiac atrium, performed to allow direct access inside the upper chambers of the heart for treating valvular or septal disorders, or for removing thrombi. This highly precise structural section requires, in most cases, the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
