Complex surgical repair of rheumatic mitral stenosis.
A 36-year-old Thai woman presents with a 6-month history of worsening dyspnea, chest pain and occasional hemoptysis. Her past medical history is significant for multiple upper respiratory tract infections as a child. On auscultation, a mid-diastolic rumbling murmur is heard at the apex, graded 3/6. Echocardiography demonstrates left atrial dilatation with a mitral valve area of 1.0 cm, a mean t...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in rheumatic mitral stenosis.
Haemodynamic factors contributing to clinical disability in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis have been under discussion and investigation for decades. Prior to the development of left heart catheterization, a low cardiac output in the presence of little or no pulmonary hypertension was taken as evidence for a myocardial 'insufficiency'. With the use of left heart catheterization, it was ...
متن کاملPercutaneous mitral valvotomy in rheumatic mitral stenosis: a new approach.
Three patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis were treated with percutaneous mitral valvotomy. A Brockenbrough catheter was advanced transseptally into the left atrium and then into the left ventricle over a long guide wire. An angle wire loop retriever was advanced through a 10 Fr straight catheter via the femoral artery into the left ventricle. The retriever was used to catch the flexible end...
متن کاملLeft atrial appendage ostial stenosis associated with rheumatic mitral stenosis \
Isolated left atrial appendage (LAA) stenosis is a very rare entity that is almost always detected coincidentally with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The clinical consequences of this condition are still unknown, but thrombus formation is likely to occur in the narrowed area. A 51-year-old female was admitted to an outpatient clinic due to the complaint of dizziness. Physical examinati...
متن کامل[Critical limb ischemia].
Chronic critical limb ischemia is defined as ischemia which generally endangers the distal part of a limb. If the ischemia is unrelenting, there is a high risk that amputation will be required. These critical limbs were amputated as an initial treatment long ago. Now it becomes clear that disabling patients have very poor quality of life after major amputation, and ischemic leg produces noxious...
