Mitral valve repair in the treatment of heart failure

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2004
Heart 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.

A mitral valve prosthesis and a study of thrombosis on heart valves in dogs

Journal of Surgical Research, 1962
Summary o 1. A prosthesis for the atrioventricular heart valves has been designed which tends to imitate the natural mitral valve. The valve is cylindric in shape and is made of smooth polyurethane. The fixation ring is flexible, with Dacron mesh and polyurethane sponge provided for fixation. The sutures are shielded from the blood stream.

Heart valve disease (mitral valve disease): anatomy and morphology of the mitral valve

2016
Abstract 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 for Congestive Heart Failure

Heart Failure Clinics, 2018
Mitral 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 ...

MOTION OF THE HEART IN DISEASE OF THE MITRAL VALVE

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1927
Roentgenograms of the heart which do not record the rhythmic movements of its borders must always remain of limited value. Even the orthodiagram, while offering information not to be obtained from the roentgenograms, fails to inform us of the time relations of the movements of various parts of the heart outline.

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2018
Cardiac 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.
