Should a Cardiac Surgeon Blame Himself for Replacing a Mitral Valve?
and learned a lot about the importance of repair for mitral valve. Besides, we have attended a lot of meetings describing several repair techniques for different pathologies. Both European and American guidelines offer mitral valve repair whenever it is possible and they even do not suggest surgery under some circumstances if the likelihood of successful repair is not more than 95%. Papers from...
متن کاملMethods of estimation of mitral valve regurgitation for the cardiac surgeon
Mitral valve regurgitation is a relatively common and important heart valve lesion in clinical practice and adequate assessment is fundamental to decision on management, repair or replacement. Disease localised to the posterior mitral valve leaflet or focal involvement of the anterior mitral valve leaflet is most amenable to mitral valve repair, whereas patients with extensive involvement of th...
متن کاملPacman Heart as a Congenital Cardiac Defect Associated with Flail Mitral Valve and a Partial form of Shone\'s Complex; A Case Report
Partial muscular inter-ventricular septal defect (VSD) or Pacman heart is a rare congenital or occasionally acquired anomaly. Concurrent Pacman heart and Shone's complex are extremely rare and have never been reported until now. We described a 37-year-old male patient with congenital Pacman heart, flail mitral valve (FMV), and a history of multiple congenital anomalies, including subvalvular ao...

متن کاملA Review of the Use of Cardiac Computed Tomography for Evaluating the Mitral Valve before and after Mitral Valve Repair
The role of cardiac computed tomography (CT) for evaluating the mitral valve (MV) has been limited since echocardiography is the main method of evaluation. However, recent advances in cardiac CT have enable detailed evaluation of the anatomy and geometry of the MV. We describe assessments of the anatomy and coaptation geometric parameters of normal MVs, and also review repair of diseased/damage...
