Mitral Valve Insufficiency
The causes of mitral valve insufficiency may largely be divided into two categories: organic or primary and functional or secondary. In the first case, the cause of insufficiency is due to a morphological change of the valve. Numerous diseases may damage the valve. Of the degenerative disease we may list myxomatous degeneration, fibroelastic deficiency or annular calcifications. Of the phlogist...
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 کاملDisc embolisation after minor strut fracture in a Björk-Shiley mitral valve prosthesis.
We report the successful management of a patient who suffered embolisation of a Bjork-Shiley mitral prosthetic valve disc after fracture of the minor strut. Emergency surgical treatment was responsible for her survival. The disc was recovered through the abdominal aorta at a subsequent operation, performed once the condition of the patient had stabilised. This experience confirms previous repor...
متن کاملHaemolysis after mitral valve replacement with the Björk-Shiley and the Lillehei-Kaster disc valve prosthesis.
The present study reports on the incidence and degree of intravascular haemolysis in 33 patients with Björk-Shiley tilting disc prosthesis and in 34 patients with Lillehei-Kaster pivoting disc valve prosthesis in the mitral position examined 12 to 24 months after the operation. Serum haptoglobin, serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum bilirubin, and haemoglobin estimations were performed. Significa...
متن کاملFulminant thrombosis of mechanical mitral valve prosthesis.
In patients with prosthetic heart valves non-cardiac surgery may require temporary discontinuation of oral anticoagulation. Although the risk of valve related thromboembolic complications may generally be only slightly increased during the short perioperative period, in the presence of certain risk factors, replacement of oral anticoagulation with heparin is recommended. In the presented patien...
