Whatâs the problem? Pulmonary regurgitation (PR, also called pulmonic regurgitation) is a leaky pulmonary valve. This valve helps control the flow of blood passing from the heart to the lungs. A leaky pulmonary valve allows blood to flow back into the heart chamber before it gets to the lungs for oxygen.
The heart is a muscular organ roughly the size of your fist. As the heart muscle contracts or squeezes, it propels the blood out into the vascular system. The heart's chambers and valves are arranged to direct the flow of the blood as the heart beats.
