Mitral Annuloplasty Using a Cardiac Resynchronization Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty for mitral regurgitation is in early stages of development and involves a complex intervention which can not be done in patients with left ventricular leads. Since functional mitral regurgitation is common in low ejection fraction states, we propose a device which can serve for annuloplasty in addition to cardiac resynchronization therapy and simplifying the intervention.

manuscript, associated procedures such as myocardial revascularization, successful ablation of atrial fibrillation and cardiac resynchronization therapy were not positively related to the occurrence of reverse remodelling. For some of them, such as cardiac resynchronization therapy, this lack of effect could probably be due to the small number of patients treated. There were 18 (24%) patients w...

We describe the case of a 76-year-old man with a history of ischemic heart disease and functional mitral regurgitation who over the previous six months had experienced worsening of functional class (NYHA III/IV) under optimal medical therapy, without ischemic symptoms and with negative ischemic tests. Mitral valve annuloplasty was considered. As the patient presented left bundle branch block on...

A 65-year-old man with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting was admitted because of severe heart failure. Echocardiography showed diffuse severe hypokinesis of the left ventricle (ejection fraction 25%) and severe mitral regurgitation caused by tethering of the leaflet secondary to left ventricular (LV) dilation. He underwent mitral valve annuloplasty and LV papillary muscle imbrication...

PURPOSE Prosthetic annuloplasty rings are currently used in mitral reconstruction. Posterior annuloplasty with a bovine pericardial strip is a technique largely used in the Heart Institute of University of São Paulo Medical School. The purpose of the study was to analyze the late results of mitral valve repair with posterior annuloplasty using a bovine pericardial strip. METHODS Between Janua...

The implantation of annuloplasty rings is a common surgical treatment targeted to re-establish mitral valve competence in patients with mitral regurgitation. It is hypothesized that annuloplasty ring implantation influences leaflet curvature, which in turn may considerably impair repair durability. This research is driven by the vision to design repair devices that optimize leaflet curvature to...
