Anatomy of the mitral valve: understanding the mitral valve complex in mitral regurgitation.
Imaging the mitral valve requires an understanding of the normal anatomy and how this complex structure is altered by disease states. Mitral regurgitation is increasingly prevalent. Despite the fall in rheumatic disease, it is the second most common valvular lesion seen in adults in Europe. In this review, the morphology of the normal and abnormal valve is reconsidered in relation to the key st...
متن کاملAccessory mitral valve tissue with mitral complex structural abnormality
A 64-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital because of palpitation. An electrocardiogram revealed firstdegree atrioventricular block without ST-T change. An echocardiography showed structural abnormality into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), mitral valve leaflet cleft without mitral regurgitation, and single papillary muscle (loss of posterior papillary muscle) (Figs. 1, 2...
متن کاملMarcus-gunn phenomenon with- mitral valve prolapse
Marcus-gunn phenomenon is a congenital and sometimes hereditary anomaly, in which a ptotic eyelid retracts momentarily when the mouth is open, or the jaw is moved. These associated movements attributed to abnormal connections between the central mechanisms innervating the pterygoid and elevator muscles. Sometimes this anomaly is associated with dual,s retraction syndrome, duplex kindneys and ur...
متن کاملComplex robotic correction for complex degenerative mitral valve disease.
The gold standard treatment of degenerative mitral valve disease remains surgical repair. The classic repair described by Dr. Carpentier (1) with leaflet resection and annuloplasty remains the primary technique for mitral repair. Other techniques such as the “American correction” (2) or artificial chordae have been introduced with similar success rates. Innovations in surgical approach over the...
