Mitral valve interventions in heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2018
AbstractSecondary mitral regurgitation (MR) results from left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction. Quantification of secondary MR is challenging because of the underlying myocardial disease. Clinical and echocardiographic evaluation requires a multi‐parametric approach.

Transapical Beating Heart Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2010
Repair of mitral valve (MV) leaflet prolapse using chordal replacement is an established procedure in open heart surgery for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR). The technique has proven high reproducibility and excellent long-term outcomes for posterior leaflet prolaspe, with freedom from valve-related reoperation of >95%.1, 2 Striving toward a

Mitral valve repair in heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2000
AbstractMitral regurgitation (MR) is a frequent complication of end‐stage heart failure. Historically, these patients were either managed medically or with mitral valve replacement, both associated with poor outcomes. Mitral valve repair via an ‘undersized’ annuloplasty repair is safe and effectively corrects MR in heart‐failure patients.

Beating-heart mitral valve chordal replacement [PDF]

open access: yes2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011
Replacing open-heart surgical procedures with beating-heart interventions substantially decreases the trauma and risk of a procedure. One of the most challenging procedures to perform on the beating heart is valve repair. To address this need, this paper proposes a tool for replacing mitral valve chordae to correct regurgitation. The chordae is secured

Differential Biological Effects of Dietary Lipids and Irradiation on the Aorta, Aortic Valve, and the Mitral Valve

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
AimsDietary cholesterol and palmitic acid are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) affecting the arteries and the heart valves. The ionizing radiation that is frequently used as an anticancer treatment promotes CVD.

Mitral valve thrombosis in term pregnancy: A case report and review of the literature

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2021
Objective: With this case report would like to emphasize the complexity that involves the management of pregnant women with mechanical heart valves. In that sense, an adequate interdisciplinary management of this potentially serious pathology is required

Comparative Anatomy of Mitral and Tricuspid Valve: What Can the Interventionlist Learn From the Surgeon

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018
Transcatheter valve interventions on the mitral and tricuspid valves entail increasing complexity. Part of the knowledge that has been generated during the development of mitral devices can be transferred to the tricuspid valve (TV).

Pseudo-double orifice mitral valve or heart in heart mitral valve

open access: yesJournal of Indian College of Cardiology, 2016
Abstract Pseudo-double orifice mitral valve is a condition characterised by double orifice appearance of mitral valve and it occurs as a result of acquired heart disease. This article describes echocardiographic appearance of this condition and helps in differentiating from double orifice mitral valve.

Combined cesarean section and mitral valve replacement in severe symptomatic mitral valve disease with unfavorable valve anatomy: Experience at a tertiary referral center of North India

open access: yesHeart India, 2019
Objective: To discuss the management in a subset of patients with severe mitral valve disease having calcified, nonpliable valves not suitable for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty during pregnancy, presenting with Stage III–IV of the clinical ...
