Similar to the aortic valve , the pulmonaryvalve 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 pulmonaryvalve. The closure of the pulmonaryvalve 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.

Subglottic stenosis is a congenital or acquired narrowing of the subglottic airway . Although it is relatively rare, it is the third most common congenital airway problem after laryngomalacia and vocal cord paralysis . Subglottic stenosis can present as a life threatening airway emergency. It is imperative that the Otolaryngologist be an expert at dealing with the diagnosis and management of this disorder. Subglottic stenosis can affect both children and adults. Subglottic stenosis can be of two forms, namely Congenital subglottic stenosis and Acquired Subglottic stenosis. As the name suggests, Congenital subglottic stenosis is a birth defect. That is a child is born with it. Acquired Subglottic Stenosis generally follows as an after effect of airway intubation. Subglottic stenosis are graded from one to four based on the severity of the block. Grade 1 50 obstruction, Grade 2 51 70 obstruction, Grade 3 71 99 obstruction, Grade 4 no detectable lumen.

The pulmonaryvalve is located on the right side of the heart between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery . In a normal functioning heart, the opening to the pulmonaryvalve has three flaps that open and close like one way doors.

In thoracic surgery , a pulmonary thrombectomy , is an emergency procedure that removes blood clot clotted blood thrombus from the pulmonary artery pulmonary arteries . Mechanical thrombectomies can be surgical surgical thrombectomy or percutaneous percutaneous thrombectomy . ref Casazza F, Roncon L, Greco F. Pulmonary embolism treatment of the acute episode. Ital Heart J. 2005 Oct 6 10 818 23. PMID 16270473. ref Surgical thrombectomies were once popular but were abandoned because of poor long term outcomes. Recently, in selected patients, they have gone through a resurgence with the revision of the surgical technique. ref Augustinos P, Ouriel K.

Aside from this similarity they differ in many ways. PTEs are done non emergently whilst pulmonary thrombectomies are typically done as an emergency procedure. PTEs typically are done using hypothermia and full cardiac arrest. PTEs are done for chronic pulmonary embolism, thrombectomies for severe acute pulmonary embolism. PTEs are generally considered a very effective treatment, surgical thrombectomies are an area of some controversy and their effectiveness a matter of some debate in the medical community.
