How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]
, 2020 The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly decreased in Europe since the beginning of the 20th century due to improved living conditions, early antibiotic therapy in streptococcal pharyngitis, and changes in serotypes of circulating streptococci.

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

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023 Background Whipple’s disease is a chronic multisystemic infectious disease that rarely presents as culture-negative endocarditis. Most patients reported with Tropheryma whipplei endocarditis involve a native valve and few describe prosthetic valve ...

Big Data and Cognitive Computing, 2022 The heart’s mitral valve is the valve that separates the chambers of the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle. Heart valve disease is a fairly common heart disease, and one type of heart valve disease is mitral regurgitation, which is an ...

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 ...

Study of mitral valve in human cadaveric hearts
Heart Views, 2012 The mitral valve is a complex structure that is altered by disease states. The classical image of the mitral valve is a bicuspid valve with two leaflets and two papillary muscles. The reason for the present study is to study the morphology and morphometry of the mitral valve.This study was carried out on 116 human cadaveric hearts.

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
