Flail mitral and tricuspid valves due to myxomatous disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myxomatous disease generally affects mitral valve. However, tricuspid valves also can be involved in 20% of the myxomatous mitral valve disease. Valve prolapse, elongation of chordae and chordae rupture are generally seen complications of the myxomatous disease. There are some reports about severe tricuspid regurgitation due to tricuspid valve prolapse and elongated chordae, but no tricuspid and mitral chordae ruptures in the same patient due to myxomatous disease have been reported. In this case tricuspid chordae rupture accompanied to mitral chordae rupture is discussed.

Myxomatous Mitral Valve with Prolapse and Flail Scallop
BACKGROUND Myxomatous mitral valve with prolapse are classically seen with abnormal leaflet apposition during contraction of the heart. Hemodynamic disorders can result from eccentric mitral regurgitation usually caused by chordae tendinae rupture or papillary muscle dysfunction. Echocardiography is the gold standard for evaluation of leaflet flail and prolapse due to high sensitivity and speci...
متن کاملEarly detection of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with mitral regurgitation due to flail leaflet is still a challenge.
Lack of normal mitral leaflet apposition and abnormal pointing of the flail component into the left atrium (LA) during systole are typical features of mitral leaflet flail which generate haemodynamically relevant mitral regurgitation (MR). The most common reason for mitral leaflet flail is chord rupture. Rarely, severe prolapse with the leaflet tip bulging into the LA causing severe MR can also...
متن کاملIdiopathic mitral valve prolapse with tricuspid, aortic and pulmonary valve involvement: an autopsy case report.
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is usually asymptomatic, but can be associated with complications such as infective endocarditis, mitral regurgitation, thromboembolism and sudden cardiac death. It has been very rarely reported to occur in association with other valvular involvement. A 55-year-old male patient was brought dead and at autopsy the mitral valve orifice was stenotic and the leaflets wer...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional echocardiographic recognition of ruptured chordae tendineae.
Real-time, phased-array, two-dimensional echocardiographic studies identified ruptured chordae tendineae in five patients: four patients had a flail mitral valve and one had flail mitral and tricuspid valves. The characteristic abnormality was a rapid systolic motion of the involved leaflet beyond the line of valve closure into the atrium. The maximal abnormal systolic motion was greatest at th...
متن کاملClinical significance of mitral leaflet flail.
BACKGROUND There has been scant academic consideration paid to investigations of mitral leaflet flail in terms of clinical profile, surgical strategy, and surgical outcome. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients with mitral leaflet flail referred for surgical treatment in the past 4(2/3) years were included in this study. RESULTS The most common reasons leading to mitral leaflet flail wer...
