Two Faces of Mitral Stenosis: Uncovering Structural and Hemodynamic Signatures of Rheumatic and Mitral Annular Calcification–Induced Disease [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is common and associated with increased cardiovascular risk and, when severe, mitral stenosis (MS). MAC‐related MS differs anatomically and hemodynamically from rheumatic MS (RMS), challenging standard ...

Mitral valve interventions in heart failure [PDF]

ESC 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]

Circulation: 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]

European 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]

2011 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

A rare case series of mechanical prosthetic heart valve structural deterioration presented as severe mitral regurgitation

Heart Vessels and Transplantation, 2023
Objective: Structural valve deterioration in the form of stenosis or regurgitation or both though being a rare complication with newer generation mechanical heart valves can occur and can be critical.

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

Frontiers 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.

Modelling mitral valvular dynamics–current trend and future directions [PDF]

, 2017
Dysfunction of mitral valve causes morbidity and premature mortality and remains a leading medical problem worldwide. Computational modelling aims to understand the biomechanics of human mitral valve and could lead to the development of new treatment ...

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

Taiwanese 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
