Mitral annuloplasty vs valve replacement for mitral insufficiency.
evidence of reduced venous return and alternating end-diastolic fiber length as causative factors. To the Editor: Attie et al.' reported their experience with valve replacement in children with mitral insufficiency. They divided their patients in three groups, depending on the type of prosthesis: mechanical valves, porcine xenografts and dura mater valves. Follow up times were 6.3, 3.3 and 1.9 ...
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
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...
متن کاملMitral 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 کاملEffect of Annuloplasty for Mitral Valve Prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common cause of primary mitral regurgitation (MR), which represents leaflet or chordae elongation and is frequently accompanied by ruptured chordae. In almost all patients with this entity, annular dilatation is a common lesion. It is well known that the normal annulus has a unique saddle shape, but the saddle is flattened in MVP, and its dynamic characte...
