The evaluation of annuloplasty in bicuspid aortic valve repair using cardiac magnetic resonance [PDF]
Background The incompetent bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) can be replaced or repaired using various surgical techniques. This study sought to assess the efficacy of external annuloplasty and postoperative reverse remodelling using cardiac magnetic resonance

Mitral Valve Patient-Specific Finite Element Modeling from Cardiac MRI: Application to an Annuloplasty Procedure [PDF]
We aim at testing the possibility to build patient-specific structural finite element models (FEMs) of the mitral valve (MV) from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to use them to predict the outcome of mitral annuloplasty procedures. MV FEMs were built for one healthy subject and for one patient with ischemic mitral regurgitation.

Clinical efficacy of two different tricuspid annuloplasty techniques in left cardiac valve surgery
Objective: To investigate the mid-and long-term clinical effects of tricuspid valvuloplasty with the implantation of an artificial plastic ring. Methods: Data of 677 patients who had functional tricuspid regurgitation and left cardiac valve disease and ...

The Combined Double-Orifice and Single-Patch Technique for Partial Atrioventricular Septal Defect in Adults: A Novel Strategy. [PDF]
Aim The aim of this study is to share our experience of the combined double‐orifice and single‐patch technique for the correction of partial atrioventricular septal defect (pAVSD) and its associated tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD). Methods Between January 2014 and May 2024, 99 patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent repair of pAVSD and its associated ...

Culture-Negative Infective Endocarditis Presenting With Cardio-Hepatorenal Syndrome in a 21-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report of Diagnostic Workup and Management. [PDF]
Infective endocarditis (IE) imposes a challenge in clinical practice, often demanding rapid and precise identification of the causative agent to guide tailored therapeutic interventions. However, a subset of cases presents an elusive diagnostic dilemma with culture‐negative results, thereby complicating the management strategy.

Ring-first Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]
Mitral valve repair is one of the most frequent interventions in cardiac surgery. It involves eliminating the dysfunctional part(s) of the mitral valve and reconstructing, using the residual tissue or with the addition of prosthetic components, a ...

Cardiac silhouette following a mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annuloplasty and atrioplasty of both atria [PDF]
Mitral stenosis is a disease almost exclusively due to rheumatic cardit . Mitral stenosis is a "Diastolic event". Basically it is an obstruction of the filling of the left ventricle at a level of a mitral valve. This brings a diastolic atrio-ventricular pressure gradient. Severe mitral stenosis (MVA

Upgrading from a Dual-chamber Pacemaker to a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator in Situs Inversus Totalis with Dextrocardia Following Mitral Valve Replacement and Tricuspid Annuloplasty Using a Left-sided Approach [PDF]
A 71-year-old female patient was referred to our center to upgrade a dual-chamber pacemaker to a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) following the detection of worsened systolic function (ejection fraction:25%-30%) via transthoracic echocardiography. The patient had situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia.
