Effect of Annuloplasty for Mitral Valve Prolapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common cause of primary mitral regurgitation (MR), which represents leaflet or chordae elongation and is frequently accompanied by ruptured chordae. In almost all patients with this entity, annular dilatation is a common lesion. It is well known that the normal annulus has a unique saddle shape, but the saddle is flattened in MVP, and its dynamic characteristics are different from those of the normal annulus.

Various surgical techniques have been described for the repair of mitral valve with or without using an annuloplasty ring depending upon the pathological changes. Isolated prolapse of the anterior mitral leaflet with severe mitral regurgitation is relatively uncommon compared to prolapse of the posterior mitral leaflet. The technique commonly used is edge-to-edge repair, Chordal transfer and sh...

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 کاملLifting posterior mitral annuloplasty for enhancing leaflet coaptation in mitral valve repair: midterm outcomes.
BACKGROUND We evaluated the midterm outcomes of lifting posterior mitral annuloplasty for enhancing leaflet coaptation in mitral valve repair. METHODS Between October 2007 and December 2012, 341 consecutive patients with significant mitral regurgitation underwent lifting posterior mitral annuloplasty using a specially designed fabric annuloplasty strip that lifts the middle portion of the pos...
