The AV node prevents backflow into the atria when the ventricles are contracting. When an AV node is not functioning properly, the same blood could be re-pumped over and over because the valve has not closed properly and the blood backflows. A mechanical valve, a pig or cow heart valve, or even a cryopreserved valve from a human cadaver would replace the faulty AV Valve. (MarieB 672)
