Mitral Valve Regurgitation: Surgical Treatment
insufficiency aims at relief of symptoms, minimisation of complications and improvement of survival. The development of prosthetic mitral rings and the establishment of reconstruction methods have led to wide application of these techniques. The ideal prosthetic valve has not yet been invented: late complications of both prosthetic mechanical valves (bleeding, thromboembolic events) and tissue ...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Ischemic mitral regurgitation is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. For surgical patients with moderate regurgitation, the benefits of adding mitral-valve repair to coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) are uncertain. METHODS We randomly assigned 301 patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation to CABG alone or CABG plus mitral-valve repair (combined proced...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of ischemic mitral valve regurgitation.
In cases of old myocardial infarction, the presence of mitral valve regurgitation is one of the predicting factors of long-term prognosis. The mechanism of ischemic mitral regurgitation consists of mitral annular dilatation, left ventricular (LV) dilatation followed by tethering of the mitral valve, etc. Since long-term prognosis of the patients in whom the degree of mitral valve regurgitation ...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation in dilated cardiomyopathy.
Functional mitral regurgitation is a significant complication of end-stage cardiomyopathy. Dysfunction of one or more components of the mitral valve apparatus occurs in 39-74% and affects almost all heart failure patients. Survival is decreased in subjects with more than mild mitral regurgitation irrespective of the aetiology of heart failure. The goal of treating functional mitral regurgitatio...
متن کاملSurgical approaches to mitral regurgitation.
Surgical approaches to correct mitral regurgitation (MR) have evolved over 50 years and form much of the basis for percutaneous approaches to the mitral valve. Surgical mitral repairs have been more durable with use of annuloplasty, but recurrent regurgitation not resulting in reoperation can occur. The mitral leaflets may be resected or augmented, with recent trends to preserve leaflet coaptat...
