Surgical Treatment of Severe Mitral Insufficiency in Patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse
In this paper we represent the experience of the UCCC of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in the surgical treatment of patients with mitral insufficiency caused by the prolapse of the mitral valve (MV) cusps. The aim. To analyze our own experience in

Computational analysis of flow structures in turbulent ventricular blood flow associated with mitral valve intervention [PDF]
Cardiac disease and clinical intervention may both lead to an increased risk for thrombosis events due to modified blood flow in the heart, and thereby a change in the mechanical stimuli of blood cells passing through the chambers of the heart. Specifically, the degree of platelet activation is influenced by the level and type of mechanical stresses in

Exercise intolerance is a common complication in long‐term survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem‐cell transplantation. In this study, we found reduced oxygen uptake (VO2peak) by cardio‐pulmonary exercise tests to be associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction by echocardiography.

Mitral valve reconstruction – timing, surgical techniques and results
Mitral valve insufficiency is the second most common heart valve disease and untreated regurgitation leads to enlargement of the left atrium, atrial fibrillation and heart failure.

The effects of leaflet material properties on the simulated function of regurgitant mitral valves [PDF]
Advances in three-dimensional imaging provide the ability to construct and analyze finite element (FE) models to evaluate the biomechanical behavior and function of atrioventricular valves. However, while obtaining patient-specific valve geometry is now possible, non-invasive measurement of patient-specific leaflet material properties remains nearly ...

Current concepts of mitral valve reconstruction for mitral insufficiency. [PDF]
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in surgical reconstruction of the insufficient mitral valve because of reconfirmation of the limitations of existing prosthetic and bioprosthetic valves. A follow-up study, including late functional data, of 148 patients who underwent mitral valve reconstruction at our institution was combined with a ...

Surgical Repair of Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency in Combination with Left Ventricle Plasty
Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation is a frequent and severe complication after myocardial infarction. Its pathophysiological mechanisms explain the left ventricle remodeling, induce the papillary muscles displacement and change the angle of ...

Free‐breathing whole‐body MRI in tandem with an automated user interface yielded similar diagnostic accuracy at equivalent image quality and shorter acquisition times compared with breath‐hold MR sequences. Scores for patient satisfaction were significantly better for free‐breathing compared with breath‐hold examinations, including significant ...
