Novel approaches to cardiac valve repair: from structure to function: Part I.
Valve disease continues to be an important cause of global disease load,1–3 with a high incidence in the developing world due to inflammation (mainly rheumatic disease4,5) and an increasing number of patients in the developed world affected by “degenerative” valve disease due to increasing longevity6–8 coupled with a background incidence of rheumatic9 (often unrecognized) and infective endocard...
متن کاملNovel approaches to cardiac valve repair: from structure to function: Part II.
In Part I of this article, several aspects of valve structure and function and their possible clinical relevance were discussed. We now review the clinical evolution and application for various forms of valve repair and outline some of the factors relating to the timing and choice of particular types of repair or replacement and, whenever appropriate, repair versus replacement. In addition, fut...
متن کاملEmerging Approaches of Transcatheter Valve Repair/Insertion
Aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) account for the majority of valvular diseases and their prevalence is increasing according to increased life expectancy. Surgical treatment is the gold standard, although operative risk may be high in some patients due to comorbidities and age. A large part of the patients at high surgical risk who could beneficiate of treatment are not referre...
متن کاملPercutaneous approaches to valve repair for mitral regurgitation.
Percutaneous therapy has emerged as an option for treatment of mitral regurgitation for selected, predominantly high-risk patients. Most of the percutaneous approaches are modifications of existing surgical approaches. Catheter-based devices mimic these surgical approaches with less procedural risk, due to their less-invasive nature. Percutaneous annuloplasty can be achieved indirectly via the ...
متن کاملDonor mitral valve repair in cardiac transplantation.
INTRODUCTION For many patients suffering from end-stage heart failure, heart transplantation remains the only hope for survival, but the shortage of donor organ is increasing. The growing number of patients awaiting heart transplantation has led many centers to expand the donor pool by liberalizing donor criteria, including advances in surgical techniques on the donor heart, such as valve repai...
