Clipping the Alfieri Stitch.
A 75-year-old woman underwent a surgical correction of severe mitral regurgitation (MR). The valve morphology was characterized by chordae rupture (P2), prolapse (A2), and an unusual small anterior valve area with a restrictive posterior leaflet. The correction comprised chordae replacement P2/A2 without annuloplasty due to a tight annulus. Finally, an Alfieri stitch was performed. Four weeks l...
متن کاملAlfieri stitch and its impact on mitral clip.
The edge-to-edge (E-to-E) technique (also called Alfieri stitch) has been introduced by us in the armamentarium of mitral valve repair in the early 1990s, as a simple method to conveniently correct mitral regurgitation (MR) in the presence of complex lesions [1]. The current role of the E-to-E repair in the surgical treatment of MR has been recently analyzed in a review article, where the techn...
متن کاملAlfieri stitch for temporary severe functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement
The outcome in functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement is unclear. A frail 82-year-old woman with severe aortic valve regurgitation and mild to moderate functional mitral valve regurgitation (NYHA functional class III) was referred to our clinic. In consideration of her frail condition, aortic valve replacement without mitral surgery was performed. She had hemodynamic ins...
متن کاملAvoiding stitch abscesses in subcuticular skin closures: the L-stitch.
A potential problem with the standard method of skin closure in pediatric surgery is the development of a skin abscess. To avoid this problem, we introduce a new stitch--the L-stitch. The technique involves passing the suture subcuticularly at the end of the incision and redirecting the needle at a 90 degree angle from the previous suture, before bringing it out to the skin surface. This stitch...
متن کاملNovel surgical approach to subcutaneous closure: the subcutaneous inverted cross mattress stitch (SICM Stitch).
Placement of subcutaneous stitches minimizes the distance between wound edges, diminishes the tension on the wound when percutaneous or running subcutaneous stitches are placed; and, when placed properly, assists in wound edge eversion Yet certain factors, such as extreme defect width, convexity of skin surface, tissue inelasticity, and low coefficient of friction associated with certain suture...
