Homemade expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene flexible mitral annuloplasty ring.
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular ...
متن کاملMidterm results of tricuspid annuloplasty with a homemade PTFE flexible ring
Background/Introduction Tricuspid regurgitation is a serious valvulopathy with a significant impact on long term survival. Several techniques have been described to address it, including suture techniques and ring techniques. All have the same purposes of favoring leaflet cooptation, reducing the size of the tricuspid annulus and stabilize the reparation to preclude further re expansion and dil...
متن کاملSystematic evaluation of the flexible and rigid annuloplasty ring after mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVES Mitral annulus reconstruction is now a common surgical procedure for the treatment of mitral regurgitation. However, there are still controversies in the selection of materials for annuloplasty in the clinical controlled studies available. The purpose of the present systematic review of the literature is to address whether a flexible ring is superior to a rigid ring in terms of impro...
متن کاملA new completely flexible ring for mitral valve annuloplasty: the "Rama-Valvuloplasty-Ring". Five-year Pitié Salpétrière experience.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects about the use of a new completely flexible ring for mitral valve anuloplasty, the "Rama-Valvuloplasty-ring", in 182 patients operated on in the Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital, Paris, France for mitral valve regurgitation (MVR). From January 1998 to December 2003, 182 patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) underwent mitral reconstructive surgery at o...
متن کاملTransvenous mitral valve replacement after failure of surgical ring annuloplasty.
To the Editor: Mitral valve repair is the preferred treatment for itral regurgitation (MR). However, failure or recurrence of MR ight occur. Re-operation might carry a high risk in patients with omorbidities. A few reports have suggested the feasibility of ranscatheter mitral valve replacement after failure of surgical ring nnuloplasty (1–4). We report here the first series of transvenous itral...
