Mitral Valve Interventions in Structural Heart Disease
Current Cardiology Reports, 2018Analyze the current state of the art and the future perspectives of mitral interventions in clinical setting.A systematic and critical review of the new mitral percutaneous therapies and imaging technologies is the basis to adopt the right treatment for each patient according to specific valve dysfunction and clinical presentation, waiting for ...

A Heart Inside the Heart: Blood Cyst of Mitral Valve
Echocardiography, 2008We report a case of giant blood cyst originating from the anterior mitral valve leaflet, which was discovered during a two‐dimensional echocardiography examination performed for investigation of a systolic murmur in a 34‐year‐old healthy man. Three‐dimensional microbubble‐enhanced images showed a heart‐shape appearance that may be pathognomonic for ...

Mitral Valve Repair on the Beating Perfused Heart
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2006It is difficult to assess the success of mitral valve repair in the arrested heart. Various techniques have been described. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) provides excellent two-dimensional evaluation of the repair, but three-dimensional anatomic characteristics are limited. We describe a simple technique for performing mitral valve repair on the

Heart Transplantation and Consecutive Mitral Valve Replacement
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2005A 48-year-old man was diagnosed with progressive mitral insufficiency due to fibrosis of papillary muscles and chordae tendineae, necessitating mitral valve replacement (MVR) 8 months after cardiac transplantation. Donor echocardiography and inspection of the heart at procurement were inconspicuous.

Heart valve disease (mitral valve disease): mitral stenosis
2016Abstract The most common cause of mitral stenosis (MS) is rheumatic fever followed by degenerative MS. Echocardiography is the key method to diagnose and evaluate MS. Echocardiographic findings are closely related to aetiology. In rheumatic disease echocardiography shows thickening of leaflet tips with restricted opening caused by ...

Percutaneous Mitral Heart Valve Repair—MitraClip
Cardiology in Review, 2014Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common cardiac valvular disease in the United States. Approximately 4 million people have severe MR and roughly 250,000 new diagnoses of MR are made each year. Mitral valve surgery is the only treatment that prevents progression of heart failure and provides sustained symptomatic relief.

Heart valve disease (mitral valve disease): mitral regurgitation
2016Abstract Mitral regurgitation (MR) is increasingly prevalent in Europe. Echocardiography has a key role in the diagnosis and management of patients with MR. Each echocardiographic study in patients with MR should aim to characterize mitral valve morphology, identify the mechanism of valve dysfunction, quantify the severity of MR, and ...

Percutaneous Mitral Valve Interventions and Heart Failure
2017Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most frequent Valvular Heart Disease (VHD) and is an important cause of heart failure. MR can be caused by primary valve abnormality (Degenerative MR/Primary MR) or it can be secondary to cardiomyopathy (Functional MR/Secondary MR). Medical management alleviates symptoms but does not alter the progression of the disease.

Mitral valve repair in the treatment of heart failure
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2004Heart failure continues to be one of the leading causes of hospitalizations and mortality in the United States. Mitral valve regurgitation in patients with heart failure is most often a functional abnormality and as such represents a different disease entity from other more common causes of regurgitation.
