Mitral-valve repair for mitral-valve prolapse.
n engl j med 361;23 nejm.org december 3, 2009 2261 This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major clinical studies, the clinical use of this therapy, and potential adverse effects are reviewed. Relevant formal guidelines, if they exist, are prese...
متن کاملSeverity Score for Mitral Valve Repair in Active Infective Endocarditis
Objectives: Whether to perform mitral valve (MV) repair is often difficult during infective endocarditis (IE), especially in patients with extensive leaflet destruction. The aim of this study was to develop scoring system to predict feasibility of mitral valve (MV) repair and select appropriate surgical candidates for repair during active IE. Methods: Patients who underwent MV repair for active...
متن کاملInfluence of atrial fibrillation on outcome following mitral valve repair.
BACKGROUND To investigate the outcome of patients in atrial fibrillation (AF) following mitral valve repair, clinical and echocardiographic follow-up was undertaken in 400 consecutive patients who underwent mitral valvuloplasty from 1987 to 1999. METHODS AND RESULTS The main indications for surgery were degenerative (81.4%), endocarditis (7.1%), rheumatic (6.6%), ischemic (4.6%), and traumati...
متن کاملMitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation secondary to lone atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES Significant mitral regurgitation (MR) may arise from isolated annular dilatation secondary to lone atrial fibrillation (AF) and associated atrial remodelling. The aim of the present study is to assess the outcome of surgery for this condition. METHODS Between November 2007 and July 2011, 20 patients underwent mitral valve (MV) repair for severe MR secondary to AF. The median age of...
متن کاملMitral valve prolapse and occult aortic coarctation.
A 22 year old man developed symptoms of left ventricular failure secondary to atrial fibrillation and congenital mitral regurgitation. After operation for mitral valve repair he was unable to be successfully weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass and this was ascribed to poor left ventricular function. He therefore underwent emergency cardiac transplantation but again was unable to be weaned from b...
