Intradiscal Electrothermal Annuloplasty

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2005
Low back pain is a common problem, and although the majority of cases of low back pain resolve, a subset of patients will continue to have intractable pain despite appropriate conservative treatments. Intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty is a minimally invasive spinal procedure that has been proposed to treat provocation discography-proven internal ...

Effects of different annuloplasty rings on anterior mitral leaflet dimensions

Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010
ObjectiveTo assess the effects of annuloplasty rings on anterior mitral leaflet dimensions.MethodsSixteen radiopaque markers were sutured evenly spaced over the surface of the anterior mitral leaflet in 57 sheep.

Mitral valve annuloplasty

The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2018
Mitral valve prosthetic ring annuloplasty represents a key milestone in the history of mitral valve repair, delivering restoration of annular shape and size. Increased leaflet coaptation, together with significant reduction in stress on sutures, has ensured predictability and immediate stability for valve repair, both of which were lacking with ...

Saddle-shaped mitral valve annuloplasty rings improve leaflet coaptation geometry

Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011
ObjectivesThe mitral valve annulus naturally conforms to a saddle shape in systole. This configuration is believed to put the leaflets into a lower-energy equilibrium with the annulus and subvalvular apparatus.

Technic of tricuspid annuloplasty

The American Journal of Surgery, 1967
Abstract Significant tricuspid insufficiency accompanying lesions of the mitral and aortic valves produces serious effects if they are not repaired at the same time as the left sided lesions. The technic of tricuspid annuloplasty is described, a procedure which if properly performed is most useful and successful.

An Effective Adjunct to Tricuspid Annuloplasty

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984
A simple and effective adjunct to annuloplasty is presented for use in patients in whom dilatation of the annulus may not be sufficient to convert the tricuspid valve into a bicuspid valve. Several interrupted sutures are placed on the leaflets adjacent to the commissural zone between the anterior and posterior leaflets prior to exclusion of the ...

Tricuspidal Annuloplasty. Results and Complications

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1982
Between 1976 and 1979, 76 patients underwent tricuspid annuloplasty (TA) for predominant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The TR was functional (secondary to mitral valve disease) in 70, postrheumatic in 4, posttraumatic in one and secondary to myxomatous degeneration in one.

A Further Look at Tricuspid Annuloplasty

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976
Is it necessary to replace the tricuspid valve or insert a tricuspid ring for pure tricuspid insufficiency, or is repair satisfactory? In 96 of 113 patients with pure tricuspid insufficiency the tricuspid valve was repaired by converting the incompetent three-leaflet valve into a two-leaflet one.

Tricuspid Annuloplasty: A Modified Technique

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1983
A modification of the de Vega semicircular annuloplasty for tricuspid regurgitation is presented. This technique has been used successfully in 48 patients since January, 1979.

Repair of Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: Comparison Between Suture Annuloplasty and Rings Annuloplasty

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014
The purpose of this study was to review our experience with modified De Vega tricuspid annuloplasty versus ring annuloplasty for treating functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR).In all, 448 consecutive patients undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty with concomitant procedures between 2000 and 2012 were included.
