Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Valve Regurgitation with Papillary Muscle Displacement and Posterior Leaflet Prolapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of abnormal chordae of the mitral valve (MV) associated with systolic anterior motion (SAM) is not commonly encountered in clinical practice. Here we report MV repair via the edge-to-edge technique in a 56-year-old male with MV regurgitation associated with papillary muscle displacement and posterior leaflet prolapse. Echocardiography revealed obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract caused by SAM because of papillary muscle displacement and mitral regurgitation associated with posterior leaflet prolapse due to chordae rupture. MV repair was successfully performed by reconstruction with an Alfieri stitch. The outcome of this case demonstrated that this surgical technique is preferable for MV abnormalities with no complex malformations.

Evidence of a vicious cycle in mitral regurgitation with prolapse: secondary tethering attributed to primary prolapse demonstrated by three-dimensional echocardiography exacerbates regurgitation.
BACKGROUND In patients with mitral valve prolapse, nonprolapsed leaflets are often apically tented. We hypothesized that secondary left ventricular dilatation attributed to primary mitral regurgitation (MR) causes papillary muscle (PM) displacement, resulting in this leaflet tenting/tethering, and that secondary tethering further exacerbates malcoaptation and contributes to MR severity. METHO...
متن کاملPercutaneous mitral valve repair: a fertile field of innovative treatment strategies.
The mitral valve is a complex structure composed of the leaflets, annulus, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles. Competency of the mitral valve is dependent on the proper function of each of these component structures. The pathophysiological triad of mitral regurgitation (MR) was originally described by Carpentier in 1983.1 It included the etiology of the valve lesion, the valve lesion itse...
متن کاملA case of mitral papillary muscle rupture due to blunt chest trauma.
Mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle rupture after blunt chest trauma is uncommon. Sudden onset severe mitral regurgitation may lead to death due to heart failure if surgical repair is delayed. A previously healthy 12-year-old girl underwent splenectomy and chest tube insertion for pneumothorax after a traffic accident in a vehicle 15 days before. She was discharged from the hospital af...
متن کاملSevere Mitral Valve Prolapse with Flail Posterior Leaflet and Severe Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is defined as posterior displacement of all or part of MV leaflet(s) beyond MV annulus at least 2 mm into the left atrium (LA) during systole, with or without mitral leaflet thickening, but prolapsed leaflet(s) pointing towards apex in systole [1]. Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common complication of MVP. Moreover, MVP with flail leaflet(s) is a severe form of MVP w...
متن کاملMitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation: review of current techniques
INTRODUCTION Ischemic mitral regurgitation can be defined as moderate to severe mitral leak precipitated by acute myocardial infarction. Valve repair is now the procedure of choice, but some cases can pose difficult anatomy. This review will illustrate current techniques for repairing complex ischemic mitral regurgitation. METHODS Most patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation have predomin...
