Does stringent restrictive annuloplasty for functional mitral regurgitation cause functional mitral stenosis and pulmonary hypertension?
BACKGROUND It remains controversial whether restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA) for functional mitral regurgitation (MR) can induce functional mitral stenosis (MS) that may cause postoperative residual pulmonary hypertension (PH). METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred eight patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and severe MR underwent RMA with stringent downsizing of the mitral annulus....
متن کاملMitral annular kinetics in mitral regurgitation
Methods Population: Patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (n = 35) with normal LV EF pre and 12 months post mitral valve repair. Normal volunteers (n = 51). Image Acquisition: All participants underwent MRI on a 1.5T scanner (GE Healthcare) optimized for cardiac application. An ECG-gated, breath-hold steady state free precision technique was used to obtain 2 chamber and 4 chamber view...
متن کاملLarge left atrial myxoma causing mitral annular dilation, functional mitral stenosis with concealed atrial septal defects
provided the original work is properly cited. CC Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a relatively precise method of evaluating intracardiac myxoma. However, if the cardiac myxoma is combined with other pathology, it could be missed by TTE. We report a case of a left atrial (LA) myxoma with mechanical mitral annular dilation and functional mitral stenosis (MS) combined with unrevealed atrial...
متن کاملIsolated cleft posterior mitral valve leaflet: an uncommon cause of mitral regurgitation.
A 53-year-old woman with a history of hypertension was referred for an echocardiogram by her primary care physician after an unspecified abnormal ECG. The echocardiogram showed normal left ventricular size and function; however, an isolated cleft posterior mitral valve leaflet was identified with concomitant bileaflet prolapse and mild mitral regurgitation. She was subsequently referred to a ca...
متن کاملFunctional, ischemic mitral regurgitation: to repair or not to repair?
With an ever increasing population of patients with coronary artery disease complicated by chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR), the question of whether to perform mitral valve repair (MVRep) in addition to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most common and controversial clinical dilemmas faced by cardiac surgeons today. At present, there is no definitive randomized, pr...
