The aortic semilunar valve and pulmonary semilunar valve prevent blood from flowing back into the chambers. These valves contract to prevent blood from flowing back into the atria, and relax to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricle. During the bypass surgery, semi-lunar valves of the vein taken from the leg must be inserted with care to prevent that valves from becoming against the blood flow direction.
