This abnormality is extremely rare and its rarity can lead to a misdiagnosis. Valve repair was feasible and effective, which allowed us to avoid prosthetic replacement. www.elsevier.com/locate/ejcts European Journal of ...
متن کاملA rare case of an aberrant anterior mitral valve chord resulting in severe mitral regurgitation
A 49 year old female presented with severe dyspnoea due to mitral regurgitation. Echocardiography revealed an aberrant mitral valve chord causing severe mitral regurgitation. The aberrant chord extended between the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL) and the atrial septum causing AMVL prolapse. Resection of the aberrant chord and correction of the AMVL using synthetic Gore-Tex sutures was perf...
متن کاملUnusual ethiologies of severe acute mitral regurgitation not requiring surgery.
We read with great interest the impressive article by Lorusso and colleagues [1] who tried to analyze postoperative results of emergency surgery for acute mitral regurgitation (MR). According to our experience in the management of patients in our region, we would like to express one very important issue related to the challenging subject of acute MR etiology which may change treatment modality ...
متن کاملMitral-valve repair versus replacement for severe ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Ischemic mitral regurgitation is associated with a substantial risk of death. Practice guidelines recommend surgery for patients with a severe form of this condition but acknowledge that the supporting evidence for repair or replacement is limited. METHODS We randomly assigned 251 patients with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation to undergo either mitral-valve repair or chordal-sp...
