MitraClip step by step; how to simplify the procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MitraClip system is a device for percutaneous edge-to-edge reconstruction of the mitral valve in patients with severe mitral regurgitation who are deemed at high risk for surgery. Studies have underlined the therapeutic benefit of the MitraClip system for patients at extreme and high risk for mitral valve surgery, suffering from either degenerative or functional mitral regurgitation. The MitraClip procedure shows low peri-procedural complication rates, and a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation, as well as an improvement in functional capacity and most importantly quality of life. It hereby widens the spectrum of mitral valve repair for the Heart Team. The current review underscores the efficacy of the procedure and describes the technique to simplify the procedure.

متن کاملA Study on the Mechanical Properties of Dual Phase Steels Prepared by the Direct and Step Quenching Procedure
Two different dual phase steels were prepared from low carbon manganese steel after the elimination of the banding using the direct quenching (DQ) and the step quenching (SQ) procedures. Different heat treatments resulted in different martensite morphologies, microstructures and mechanical properties. The heat treatments were designed in such a way to obtain a 0.25 volume fraction of martensite...

متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Step Stress Accelerated Life Tests for Censored Data}
Life testing often is consuming a very long time for testing. Therefore, the engineers and statisticians are looking for some approaches to reduce the running time. There is a recommended method for reducing the time of failure, such that the stress level of the test units will increase, and then they will fail earlier than normal operating conditions. These approaches are called accelerated li...
متن کاملA new multi-step ABS model to solve full row rank linear systems
ABS methods are direct iterative methods for solving linear systems of equations, where the i-th iteration satisfies the first i equations. Thus, a system of m equations is solved in at most m ABS iterates. In 2004 and 2007, two-step ABS methods were introduced in at most [((m+1))/2] steps to solve full row rank linear systems of equations. These methods consuming less space, are more compress ...
