Mitral valve replacement in the transplanted heart
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996Because of the scarcity of donor hearts, conventional operations on heart allografts are now being performed in lieu of retransplantation. Our experience with mitral valve replacement in the orthotopically transplanted heart is presented, supporting the utility of conventional operations when indicated.

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 ...

Valvular heart disease and calcification in CKD: more common than appreciated.
Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation, 2020Ischaemic heart disease, sudden cardiac death and arrhythmias, heart failure, stroke and peripheral arterial disease make up >50% of the causes of death in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).

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.

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.

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 stenosis
2016The 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 commissural fusion resulting ...
