Surgery of mitral incompetence.
MITRAL valve disease has for many years been accepted as the commonest sequel of rheumatism, both clinically and pathologically. The development of stenosis has never been in question. Such has not been the case, however, with incompetence, though as long ago as I849 Hope first drew attention to this condition. The existence of mitral incompetence as an entity or even as an important component ...
متن کاملPrinciples of reconstructive surgery in degenerative mitral valve disease.
Degenerative mitral valve disease is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation (MR) in developed countries. The most common etiologies of valvular regurgitation are Barlow's disease and fibroelastic deficiency. The mechanism of MR is type II dysfunction (leaflet prolapse) due to chordae elongation or rupture in most patients. Associated annular dilation is a common lesion in almost all pati...
متن کاملMitral incompetence associated with lipoma infiltrating the mitral valve.
A 54 year old man presented with presyncopal symptoms. Echocardiography and subsequently computed tomography showed a mass in the posterior mitral annulus causing incompetence of the valve. At operation a lipoma was found which could not be resected. Mitral incompetence was the result of chordal rupture where the lipoma had engulfed the papillary muscle. The valve was replaced and the patient m...
متن کاملReconstructive surgery of the aortic valve.
Reconstructive surgery of the aortic valve is a safe alternative to aortic valve replacement in many patients with aortic regurgitation, with satisfactory durability and an overall and cardiovascular survival advantage. It is also associated with higher rates of freedom from valve-related and anticoagulation-related events.
متن کاملTiming of mitral valve surgery.
Mitral valve surgery has changed considerably in the past decades and is now indicated mostly for pure or predominant mitral regurgitation. This is the result of the regression of rheumatic disease, of the efficacy of mitral balloon valvuloplasty for mitral stenosis, and of the aging of the population with increasing degenerative or ischaemic disease causing mitral regurgitation. Mitral regurgi...
