چکیده
Methods Our case was a 62-year-old male. He was suffering from shortness of breath and easy fatigability for 5 years. His past medical history was significant for upper gastrointestinal bleeding three times in the past 20 years. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe mitral regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) confirmed severe mitral regurgitation caused by severe prolapsus of both leaflets.

متن کاملRecurrence of Mitral Valve Regurgitation After Mitral Valve Repair in Degenerative Valve Disease
Background—Durability assessment of mitral valve repair for degenerative valve incompetence is actually limited to reoperation as the primary indicator, with valve-related risk factors for late death as a secondary indicator. We assessed serial echocardiographic follow-up of valve function as an indicator of the durability of mitral valve repair. Methods and Results—In 242 patients who had unde...
