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

Tissue Heart Valve Replacement at BSMMU- Initial Experience with Two Cases

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2010
Research on prosthesis to replace diseased heart valves began almost simultaneously with mechanical valves which are durable but with inherent thromboembolic complication requiring life-long anticoagulant therapy and tissue valves which are more prone to

Mitral valve size measurement in North Karnataka by using cardiac sizer: A cadaveric study

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2013
Background: Heart is a vital organ of circulatory system. Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood. Mitral valve (MV) prevents the backflow of blood into the left atrium. For the proper functioning of the heart, all valves should be intact.

Degenerative processes in bioprosthetic mitral valves in juvenile pigs

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2011
Background Glutaraldehyde-treated bioprosthetic heart valves are commonly used for replacement of diseased heart valves. However, calcification and wear limit their durability, and the development of new and improved bioprosthetic valve designs is needed

Multidisciplinary decision-making in mitral valve disease: the mitral valve heart team [PDF]

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2019
Although decision-making using the heart-team approach is apparently intuitive and has a class I recommendation in most recent guidelines, supportive data is still lacking. The current study aims to demonstrate the individualised clinical pathway for mitral valve disease patients and to evaluate the outcome of all patients referred to the dedicated ...
