Acute dysfunction from thrombosis of a mechanical mitral valve prosthesis
An 64-year-old man received a 31-mm CarboMedics mechanical prosthesis for severe mitral regurgitation. After four days the patient presented fatigue and dyspnoea with rest; transthoracic and transesophageal Doppler echocardiographic study confirmed a failing mobility of prosthetic valve leaflet from thrombosis and an emergency operation was done. The postoperative course was uneventful. This is...
متن کاملMitral Ball-Valve Prosthesis
REPLACEMENT of nonfunctioning valves is a significant recent advancement in the correction of cardiac valvular disease. The most widely used artificial device replacing the mitral valve is the Starr-Edwards ballvalve prosthesis.' Its effectiveness was shown in recent reports by the marked clinical improvement in properly selected patients.2 However, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are faced ...

متن کاملLate dehiscence of a mitral annuloplasty band in an asymptomatic patient: the value of follow-up with echocardiography.
A 49-year-old male had mitral annuloplasty with a Cosgrove– Edwards band. Twelve months later he was asymptomatic, but transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiograms showed dehiscence of the annuloplasty band. He underwent an uneventful mitral valve replacement. This case demonstrates the value of long-term echocardiographical follow-up of cardiac valvular prostheses irrespective of the pat...
متن کاملAccuracy of 3-Dimensional Transoesophageal Echocardiography in Assessment of Prosthetic Mitral Valve Dehiscence with Comparison to Anatomical Specimens
The evolution of echocardiography from 2-Dimensional Transthoracic Echo through to real time 3-Dimensional Transoesophageal Echo has enabled more accurate visualisation and quantification of valvular disorders especially prosthetic mitral valve paravalvular regurgitation. However, validation of accuracy is rarely confirmed by surgical or post-mortem specimens. We present a case directly compari...
