Multiple periannular defects after an inadequate mitral valve repair procedure and unsuccessful redo valve surgery with pericardial patches in an elderly patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fastest growing demographic group in Europe and America is the elderly, and significant mitral regurgitation is very prevalent in this population. At present, with mitral valve surgery in elderly individuals gaining greater acceptance worldwide, the question whether to repair or replace the valve remains controversial. Recent studies have demonstrated the safety, feasibility, and durability of repair over replacement in elderly patients. Herein, we report the case of an elderly patient who underwent surgical re-interventions on the mitral valve following an unsuccessful mitral valve repair procedure.

Right sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...

Redo mitral valve (MV) surgery via sternotomy in the presence of dense adhesions can be associated with significant complications:including injuries to the heart:great vessels and patent coronary artery grafts:that can increase morbidity and mortality. Although less likely to occur during minimally invasive MV surgery:adhesion-related injuries can be more difficult to repair because of limited ...
متن کاملEmergency redo mitral valve replacement and caesarean section in a patient with previous atrioventricular septal defect repair in childhood.
A 19-year-old primigravida, with a history of mechanical mitral prosthesis at the age of six years following previous repair of an atrioventricular septal defect, presented at 26 weeks' gestation with cardiogenic shock secondary to obstruction of the mitral prosthesis. She underwent successful emergency redo mitral valve replacement and caesarean section. At operation the prosthesis was found t...
متن کاملGrowth of mitral annulus in the pediatric patient after suture annuloplasty of the entire posterior mitral annulus.
When mitral annuloplasty is performed in small children, room for annular growth should be allowed. However, it has not been reported how the valve develops after mitral annuloplasty of the entire posterior annulus. We report a case showing traces of annular growth at redo surgery. A female patient suffering from mitral valve insufficiency due to annular dilatation underwent modified Paneth pla...
متن کاملSurgical Experience of a Partial Atrioventricular Septal Defect in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report
The following paper describes patch closure (bovine pericardial sheet) of an ostium primum atrial septal defect and mitral valve repair (sutured mitral valve cleft + autologous pericardial annuloplasty + Alfieri’s method) in a 50-year-old man. He had been perfectly well until he was brought to the emergency room because of acute heart failure. Chest radiography revealed right-side heart enlarge...
