Developing a Training Tool for Intraoperative Mitral Valve Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mitral valve is one of the four valves of the human heart. Serving as a passive check valve, a healthy mitral valve permits the flow of oxygenated blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle while preventing backflow. This is accomplished via the mutual collision of the leaflets and the tethering forces of the chordae tendineae (Figure 1). When backflow occurs, the preferred method of treatment is mitral valve repair.

Early experiences of intra-operative trans-oesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in mitral valve repair.
Whenever possible Mitral valve repair should be performed instead of Mitral valve replacement. It is important to assess the adequacy of the repair during the operation so that any corrective steps may be taken immediately. We present three cases of Mitral valve repair in which the intraoperative TEE was used to assess the adequacy of the repair. There was good correlation of the immediate post...
