Mitral Valve Annuloplasty Ring Dehiscence Diagnosed Intraoperative With Real-Time 3D Transesophageal Echocardiogram
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is often a result of the accumulation of lipids around the annulus, which can lead to degeneration and calcification of the valve. Multiple risk factors have been associated with the progression of MAC and life-threatening complications such as the early mitral valve annuloplasty dehiscence. Our case describes the different risk factors for annuloplasty dehiscence in a patient with severe MAC, as well as the importance of its early recognition intraoperatively with 3D transesophageal echocardiography.

Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the evaluation of post-operative mitral annuloplasty ring and prosthetic valve dehiscence.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the use of real-time (RT) 3-dimensional (3D) transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the evaluation of post-operative mitral valve dehiscence. BACKGROUND Mitral valve replacement or repair may be complicated by post-operative dehiscence of the valve or annuloplasty ring resulting in clinically significant mitral regurgitation or hemol...

A 48-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension was admitted with acute dyspnea and pyrexia. Echocardiographic examination revealed a dilated and volumeoverloaded left ventricle and severe mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendinae resulting in posterior leaflet prolapse. Blood cultures were negative. The patient was treated with antibiotics considering that he had a chest i...

متن کاملValue of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.
The role of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has increased tremendously since its first use in 1979. Today intraoperative TEE is a class I indication for surgical mitral valve reconstruction for evaluation of mitral valve pathology, graduation of mitral regurgitation and detection of potential risk factors as well as post-repair assessment. Real-time three-dimensional TEE o...

A 68-year old man developed heart failure 15 days after coronary bypass surgery and mitral repair with an annuloplasty ring. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a severe eccentric mitral regurgitation. Three-dimensional TEE revealed the exact anatomic characteristics of the annulus dehiscence. This technique is useful in planning the intervention properly. Figure 1: (...
