Isolated posterior mitral valve cleft: diagnosis by real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of an isolated cleft mitral valve with two clefts in the posterior leaflet. Our case adds to the few reports of posterior and multiple mitral valve clefts and, to our knowledge, is one of the first using real-time transoesophageal three-dimensional echocardiography for the assessment of isolated cleft mitral valve.

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014203592 DESCRIPTION A 56-year-old man had undergone mitral valvuloplasty owing to a 3-year history of mitral insufficiency caused by chordae tendineae rupture. Prosthetic valve ring and artificial chordae tendineae are usually used in this case. The patient was referred to the hosp...
متن کاملUsefulness of intraoperative real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography for pre-procedural evaluation of mitral valve cleft: a case report
A precise pre-procedural evaluation of mitral valve (MV) pathology is essential for planning the surgical strategy for severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and preparing for the intraoperative procedure. In the present case, a 38-year-old woman was scheduled to undergo MV replacement due to severe MR. She had a history of undergoing percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty due to rheumatic mitral stenosi...
متن کاملThe Impact Of Real-Time Three Dimensional Transoesophageal Echocardiography Before Transcatheter Radiofrequency Ablation Of Atrial Fibrillation In Patients With Prosthetic Mechanical Mitral Valve.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia following valvular heart surgery. Radiofrequence catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with prothetic mechanical mitral valve is feasible and relatively safe in experienced center. Implementation of real-time three dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography in atrial fibrillation can demonstrate on-line left atrial and left atr...
متن کاملCan three-dimensional echocardiography accurately predict complexity of mitral valve repair?
OBJECTIVE Feasibility of mitral repair is a key factor in the decision to operate for mitral regurgitation. Repair feasibility is highly dependent on surgical experience and repair complexity. We sought an objective means of predicting complexity of repair using three-dimensional (3D) transoesophageal echocardiography. METHODS In a cohort of 786 patients who underwent mitral valve surgery bet...

Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...
