Percutaneous Treatment of Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Heart Failure
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20140143 Congestive heart failure (HF) remains one of the most important and challenging clinical problems in cardiovascular medicine in Brazil and worldwide. Evidence suggests that mortality in this setting has decreased in Brazil over recent years1, which may be related, at least partially, to a more intense and widespread use of neurohormonal blockade (with angiotensin-conve...
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 کاملMitral 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 کاملProgression of tricuspid regurgitation after repaired functional ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Despite correction of left-sided cardiac lesions, associated functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) that was surgically ignored can persist. It can also appear de novo. The aim of this study was to analyze TR in a group of patients who underwent successful revascularization and mitral valve repair (MVRep) for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS AND RESULTS Among...
متن کاملThe mitral apparatus. Functional anatomy of mitral regurgitation.
This review deals with the functional anatomy of the six components of the mitral apparatus, namely, the left atrial wall, annulus, leaflets, chordae tendineae, papillary muscles, and left ventricular wall. Each component is considered individually, in the context of the apparatus as a whole, in relation to the mode of closure of the normal mitral valve, and in the light of many acquired and co...
