Do Complex Pathologies Remain a Challenge in Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery?
Minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MI-MVr) is the preferred treatment approach in experienced centers for mitral valve disease (MVD), offering reduced surgical trauma and fast recovery.

Mitral Annular Calcification: Understanding the Disease and Treatment Options
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a degenerative process that causes calcium deposits along the mitral annulus. The pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the development of MAC are not fully understood.

Papillary muscle and left ventricular trabecular calcification in rheumatic mitral stenosis [PDF]
Calcification of mitral valve apparatus in rheumatic pathology is not uncommon but isolated papillary muscle calcification and surrounding trabeculation is very rarely seen. Here valve leaflets and annulus are not calcified.
