Long-term results of mitral valve repair in active endocarditis.
BACKGROUND Several investigators have reported the feasibility of mitral valve repair in active endocarditis, but the long-term results are still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed 37 consecutive patients who underwent mitral valve repair with the Carpentier technique for active endocarditis in our center between 1989 and 1994. This repair involved prosthetic annuloplasty in 31 patients...
متن کاملFollow up the Treatment Process of Mitral Valve Diseases by Radiography and Echocardiography in Dogs
Background: Mitral valve disease is the most common acquired heart disease in dogs. Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) due to endocardiosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dog. Echocardiography as a non-invasive tool is routinely used to evaluate and diagnose different disorders in the heart. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of medical treatmen...
متن کاملMitral valve pericardioplasty--a long-term follow-up study.
Posterior (17) and anterior (3) mitral cusp pericardioplasties were performed in 20 patients between 6 December 1961 and 10 July 1963. A long-term follow-up study was done in nine patients. In six of these, mitral valvectomy with Starr-Edwards ball valve replacement was required after intervals varying between two years and three months and seven years and three months. In only one of the six c...
متن کاملMitral valve repair for active culture positive infective endocarditis.
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and echocardiographic outcome after mitral valve (MV) repair for active culture positive infective MV endocarditis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1996 and 2004, 36 patients (mean (SD) age 53 (18) years) with positive blood culture up to three weeks before surgery (or positive culture of material removed at operation) and intraoperative evidence of endocarditi...
متن کاملSeverity Score for Mitral Valve Repair in Active Infective Endocarditis
Objectives: Whether to perform mitral valve (MV) repair is often difficult during infective endocarditis (IE), especially in patients with extensive leaflet destruction. The aim of this study was to develop scoring system to predict feasibility of mitral valve (MV) repair and select appropriate surgical candidates for repair during active IE. Methods: Patients who underwent MV repair for active...
