Mitral Insufficiency of Pulmonary Vascular Lesions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of mitral insufficiency are reported. In 1 case the lesion was produced by rupture of the chordae tendineae of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. In the other case it was produced by fibrous adhesion of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve to the underlying left ventricular wall, which occurred during healing of subacute bacterial endocarditis. Changes occurred in the pulmonary vascular bed which are essentially identical with those found in mitral stenosis.

Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic illness and local retinal factors.RVO may be associated with atherosclerotic risk factors. We analyzed the role of 2 dimensional transthor...
متن کاملAnaesthetic Considerations for Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis
Valvular heart disease has significant effect on the outcome of practically any kind of surgical procedure involving general or regional anaesthesia. The most frequently encountered cardiac valve lesions produce pressure overload (mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis) or volume load (mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation) on the left atrium or left ventricle. Anaesthetic management during the ...
متن کاملSignificance of Changes in the Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Mitral Stenosis.
The pulmonary vascular consequences of chronic mitral valve obstruction have received considerable attention in recent years (Gough, 1955; Evans and Short, 1957; Harrison, 1958). Obliterative lesions involving initially the small peripheral branches of the pulmonary artery which supply the lower rather than the upper lobes has been a common finding in most of these studies, although the more se...

The patients were divided into 3 groups: pure mitral stenosis without increased pulmonary vascular resistance (group I, n =33), pure mitral stenosis with abnormal increase of pulmonary vascular resistance (group II, n= I2), and predominant mitral stenosis with mild insufficiency (group III, n= 9; all patients underg...
