Mitral Valve Surgery for Congestive Heart Failure
Heart Failure Clinics, 2018Mitral valve diseases are common causes of congestive heart failure. Chronic primary and secondary (functional) mitral valve regurgitation are the most common reasons. Valve repair for primary mitral regurgitation cures mitral valve disease, whereas in functional regurgitation, mitral valve repair is associated with high failure rates secondary to ...

[Beating-heart Mitral Valve Surgery].
Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2018Cardiac surgeries have become complicated, although the procedures have been sophisticated as well as anesthetic management and postoperative care. Cardiac surgery team's main concerns include how to preserve cardiac function after aortic cross-clamp and chemical cardiac arrest, which cause myocardial edema and reperfusion injury.

[Closed-heart mitral valve surgery].
Minerva medica, 1977Good results and an absence of complications were obtained in 100 cases of closed-heart mitral commissurotomy. The present importance of digital divulsion of the beating heart is emphasised. Widening of the ostium was not hampered by the presence of calcifications or tendinous chords.

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.

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 ...

Double Orifice Mitral Valve in Rheumatic Heart Disease
Echocardiography, 2013Mini‐AbstractA 55‐year‐old female, presented to our outpatient department with complaints of dyspnea on exertion, NYHA grade II for 7 years, which had progressed to NYHA Grade III in the past 6 months. An echocardiogram done showed severe mitral stenosis with mitral valve fused in the middle to create an appearance of 2 separate valves (complete bridge

Numerical Simulation of Mechanical Mitral Heart Valve Closure
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2001A computational fluid dynamic simulation of a mechanical heart valve closing dynamics in the mitral position was performed in order to delineate the fluid induced stresses in the closing phase. The pressure and shear stress fields in the clearance region and near the inflow (atrial) side of the valve were computed during the mitral heart valve closure.

Valvular heart disease: mitral valve stenosis
2015Abstract Rheumatic fever is still the predominant aetiology of mitral stenosis (MS) and full recognition and comprehensive assessment of valve morphology is fundamental for the treatment strategy. Echocardiography is the main method to diagnose and assess MS severity and consequences.

Heart valve disease (mitral valve disease): anatomy and morphology of the mitral valve
2016Abstract The mitral valve is a complex anatomical structure that includes the valve tissue (leaflets), the left atrioventricular junction (annulus), and the valve suspension system (chordae tendineae, papillary muscles, and left ventricle).

Mitral valve surgery in heart failure
2011Functional, or secondary, mitral regurgitation (MR) develops aspart of the process of remodelling which in turn occurs as a resultof left ventricular failure. Although this complication can resultwhatever the primary pathology causing the left ventricular failure,the pathophysiological process varies to a certain extent dependingon the aetiology. There
