Repair for Mitral Valve Aneurysm using autologous pericardium: a case of our experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitral Valve Aneurysm (MVA) is rarely reported and occurs most in association with infective endocarditis of the aortic valve. In our case, the 46-yr-old Chinese man was referred to our hospital with dyspnea and orthopnea. Transesophageal echocardiography during operation revealed a localized, thin-walled saccular structure in the anterior leaflet that bulged into the left atrium, and severe mitral and aortic regurgitation. Aortic valve was replaced with mechanical prostheses and mitral valve was repaired with autologous pericardium. Transesophageal echocardiography during operation and transthoracic echocardiography 3 months later showed mild regurgitation.

Use of autologous pericardium for mitral leaflet reconstruction in a child with endocarditis.
We present a case of successful repair of the mitral valve for active infective endocarditis. Mitral valve repair was performed through debridement of vegetation and abscess, resection and repair of the posterior mitral leaflet and posterior repair with autologous pericardium. Postoperative period was uneventfully, with no evidence of recurrent infection, and echocardiogram showed mitral valve ...
متن کاملValve Repair Using Autologous Pericardium in Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis
Tricuspid valve endocarditis is a significant cause of valve-related morbidity and mortality. Prosthetic valve reconstruction can be costly and requires life-long anticoagulation. We present our experience with surgical management of an endocarditis damaged tricuspid valve leaflet in an intravenous drug user. We were able to excise the infected tissue and successfully repair the native valve us...
متن کاملLong-term results of mitral valve repair using autologous pericardium annuloplasty.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY The use of autologous pericardium for annuloplasty during mitral valve repair is a subject of controversy; hence, the study aim was to evaluate the authors' long-term results using this technique. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of 173 consecutive patients (mean age 59.6 +/- 16.3 years; range: 19-92 years) who underwent mitral valve repair compleme...
متن کاملPatch detachment after mitral valve repair with posterior leaflet augmentation: a case report
Mitral valve (MV) repair is indicated for patients with severe MR. We report a case of acute MR caused by patch detachment after posterior leaflet augmentation in MV repair. A 65-year-old male underwent MV repair with posterior leaflet augmentation and coronary artery bypass graft 1 month prior to this study. An inverted T-shaped incision was made on the posterior mitral leaflet (PML), and a pi...
متن کاملReply to Myers et al.
The authors agree with Myers et al. [1] that biodegradable materials represent a useful alternative in the management of tricuspid valve endocarditis repair. Our statement of dividing tricuspid valve repair choices in prosthetic and non-prosthetic techniques adequately sets the main cornerstones of surgical therapy: first, minimizing, as much as possible, the resulting valve regurgitation follo...
