Mitral Valve Regurgitation: A Severe Complication following Left Ventricular Biopsy 15 Years after Heart Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 71-year-old male patient underwent orthotopic heart transplantation in 1995. Due to left heart catheterization 15 years later, biopsy from the left ventricular apex was performed for rejection screening. Two days later, echocardiography revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation requiring mitral valve replacement. This is a very rare case showing that left heart biopsy may lead to severe hemodynamic complications with the need for surgical intervention.

Evaluation of diastolic blood flow dynamic of the left ventricle in dogs with mitral valve regurgitation using vector flow mapping
Mitral valve regurgitation (MVR) is a common valvular disease in dogs. Hydrokinetic evaluation of the blood flow within the ventricles has become possible by vector flow mapping (VFM), which shows the blood flow within the ventricles in vector and vortex flows. Blood flow within the left ventricle of MVR dogs was compared at different stages of MVR and to that of normal dogs. 14 normal dogs and...

soon after cardiac transplantation, but the recipient patients seldom show a postoperative precordial murmur attributable to valve dysfunction. This is not surprising, because mild forms of valvular regurgitation detected by Doppler are often clinically inaudiblee5 Overt signs of tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular failure were observed in 2 patients with residual postoperative pulmon...

We report a case of catheter-based edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in a teenage male patient with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy to improve pulmonary hypertension secondary to severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) to defer anticipated heart transplantation. A 19-year-old patient with previous history of fulminant myocarditis followed by markedly left ventricular dysfunction presented with...

A 50-year-old male with end-stage cardiomyopathy had been on the transplant waiting list as UNOS status 1b and was recently admitted to hospital with decompensated heart failure (Video 1). His recent transthoracic echocardiogram showed dilated left ventricle with severe dysfunction, severe mitral valve regurgitation and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. He was in INTERMACS class II and was ...
