Morphological Investigations of the Anterior Leaflet and its Chordae Tendineae in Canine Mitral Valves
Although mitral valve repair (MVR)—for mitral regurgitation (MR) secondary to chronic valvular heart disease (CVHD)— is becoming more common in veterinary medicine, there is little information about the morphology of the mitral valve apparatus that is used to guide veterinary surgeons. Therefore, we investigated the locations of MR using echocardiography in 12 client-owned dogs with MR. Nine (7...
متن کاملFibrotic and Calcific Mitral Valves
This study evaluated the mechanism of valvular area expansion during singleand doubleballoon valvuloplasty in fibrotic and calcific mitral valves. Special interest was focused on the morphological features of the valves treated. Mitral valves that appeared unsuitable for commissurotomy were excised in toto at the time of mitral valve replacement in 15 patients. The excised valves were mounted i...
متن کاملViability of fresh mitral homograft valves.
The present study was undertaken to measure and compare the viability of the mitral leaflet, chordae, and papillary muscle. The viability of the valves was assessed by autoradiography at regular intervals after sterilization and preservation in antibiotics and nutrient medium. The results showed different rates of decline in viability of the leaflet, muscle, and chordae of the mitral valves. Sl...
متن کاملTomography of calcified aortic and mitral valves.
The purpose of this paper is to compare the value offluoroscopy and tomography in distinguishing aortic from mitral valve calcification. In view of this difficulty, certain criteria are recorded to aid their identification. Aortic valve calcification was first described in 1672 by Rayger (quoted by Bonetus, 1679). Eighty-two years later, Morgagni recorded a patient dying in cardiac failure who ...
متن کاملChronic Canine Mitral Regurgitation
The mechanism by which ft blockade improves left ventricular dysfunction in various cardiomyopathies has been ascribed to improved contractile function of the myocardium or to improved ,8-adrenergic responsiveness. In this study we tested two hypotheses: (a) that chronic 13 blockade would improve the left ventricular dysfunction which develops in mitral regurgitation, and (b) that an important ...
