Mitral 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 کاملDurability of mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation due to degenerative mitral valve disease.
Degenerative diseases of the mitral valve (MV) are the most common cause of mitral regurgitation in the Western world and the most suitable pathology for MV repair. Several studies have shown excellent long-term durability of MV repair for degenerative diseases. The best follow-up results are obtained with isolated prolapse of the posterior leaflet, however even with isolated prolapse of the an...
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...
متن کاملHuge pannus formation on a mechanical bileaflet mitral valve prosthesis 23 years after a third operation on the mitral valve.
Supplementary material (Videos 1 and 2) is available at EJCTS online. Video 1: Transoesophageal echocardiography showing a blockade of one of the leaflets of the mitral valve prosthesis due to a giant pannus formation with a resulting stenosis and insufficiency. Video 2: Fluoroscopy of aortic valve (top) and mitral valve (bottom) prostheses. There is an almost normal motion amplitude of one lea...
متن کاملDurability of mitral valve reconstruction using the cosgrove edwards annuloplasty band at 5 years
Results There was no intraoperative or 30 day mortality. After a mean follow-up of 5.0 ± 1.9 years, survival was 94.3%. At midterm, freedom from reoperations was 98.9%, freedom from thromboembolism was 97.5% and freedom from endocarditis was 99.4%. Echocardiography follow-up showed recurrent mitral valve regurgitation higher than grade 2 in two patients. Mean ejection fraction was 60.3 ± 10.2%,...
