Mitral annular calcification score by computed tomography in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery

European heart journal. Imaging methods and practice
Aims Mitral annular calcification (MAC) increases the difficulty of mitral valve (MV) surgery and is associated with mortality. However, there is no standardized classification of MAC severity.

Diagnosis, Classification, and Management Strategies for Mitral Annular Calcification: A Heart Valve Collaboratory Position Statement.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
Mitral annular calcium (MAC) with severe mitral valvular dysfunction presents a complex problem, as valve replacement, either surgical or transcatheter, is challenging because of anatomy, technical considerations, concomitant comorbidities, and advanced ...

A Waving Horn on the Big Mitral Annulus Calcification: Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus with Abscess Formation

Journal of Medical Ultrasound, 2014
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification. It comprises a combination of calcium, fatty acids, and cholesterol, and is characterized by heterogeneity in echocardiographic images, with peripheral ...

Differences in risk factors associated with the initiation and progression of mitral annular calcification in asymptomatic individuals

Scientific Reports
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is hypothesized to be a representation of atherosclerosis and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, the pathophysiology and risk factors associated with MAC development are not fully understood.

Association of mitral annulus calcification, aortic valve calcification with carotid intima media thickness

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2004
Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) and aortic annular calcification (AVC) may represent a manifestation of generalized atherosclerosis in the elederly. Alterations in vascular structure, as indexed by the intima media thickness (IMT), are also

Surgical and Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in Mitral Annular Calcification: A Systematic Review

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Mitral annular calcification with mitral valve disease is a challenging problem that could necessitate surgical mitral valve replacement (SMVR). Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is emerging as a feasible alternative in high‐risk patients ...

Prognostic significance of mitral annular calcification assessed by computed tomography for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair outcomes.

EuroIntervention
BACKGROUND Mitral annular calcification (MAC) presents challenges for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Limited data exist on how the anatomical features of MAC, assessed by computed tomography (CT), may be associated with TEER outcomes.
