Acute mitral regurgitation due to leaflet tear after balloon valvotomy.
Percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (PMV) has evolved into an effective method for the treatment of patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis. An increase in mitral regurgitation can occur in '45% of patients undergoing PMV. Severe mitral regurgitation can be caused by rupture of chordae or of a papillary muscle. Noncommissural tearing of the mitral leaflet is also an important mechanism of s...
متن کاملPapillary Muscle Rupture after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Mitral regurgitation (MR) after myocardial infarction is a relatively common complication and its incidence is about 50%. One cause of MR after myocardial infarction is papillary muscle rupture, and this situation usually requires urgent surgical treatment. Since prognosis is favorable with early surgical intervention, early diagnosis of the underlying cause of mitral regurgitation is very impo...
متن کاملProgress in perioperative echocardiography: focus on safety, clinical outcomes, 3-dimensional imaging, and education.
Gastric decompression with an orogastric tube after anesthetic induction does not appear to enhance image quality for routine cases. The insertion of a transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) probe can cause significant upper-airway trauma, which can be minimized with rigid laryngoscopy. Limited TEE imaging without transgastric views appears to be safe and clinically adequate in patients with a...
متن کاملPapillary Muscle Function Does Not Predict Mitral Regurgitation in Patients with Normal Left Ventricular Systolic Function: A Transesophageal Echocardiographic Study
Objective: To evaluate LV papillary muscles (PM) function using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and to determine the relationship between PM function and mitral regurgitation in patients with normal left ventricular systolic function. Design: TEE examinations were prospectively performed. End diastolic and end systolic PM lengths were obtained from the transgastric long axis views and f...
متن کاملCardiac Valve Prostheses
To determine the value of transesophageal ultrasound in the assessment of cardiac valve prostheses, 14 patients with clinically suspected mitral prosthesis malfunction were studied by transthoracic and transesophageal two-dimensional imaging as well as by color Doppler flow velocity mapping (color Doppler). Patients underwent left ventricular angiography (n = 13), surgery (n =11), or both angio...
