Multimodality imaging of a giant caseous calcification of the mitral annulus

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2013
We present an unusual case of giant caseous calcification of the mitral annulus in a 58-year-old female patient. The mass was detected during echocardiography and was defined as a big, round echodense lesion attached to the posterior mitral ring annulus.

Mitral annulus calcification: current management and future challenges.

, 2019
Mitral annulus calcification is a chronic degenerative process in the fibrous base of the mitral valve. Assessment and treatment of mitral valve disease in patients with severe mitral annulus calcification is challenging, and a multimodal approach is ...

Paravalvular Leak

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal, 2022
Despite improvements and advancements in surgical technique, paravalvular leaks (PVL) continue to present a challenge when caring for patients with prosthetic valve disease.1 Paravalvular leaks result from dehiscence of the surgical ring from the mitral ...

Selective, segmental decalcification: a safe alternative to extensive debridement of a severely calcified annulus during repair of mitral regurgitation. [PDF]

, 2016
Resection of the calcium bar and creation of a more compressible annulus with pericardium are necessary in case of extensive calcification of the mitral valve annulus in patients with advanced myxomatous degenerative disease.

Mitral valve replacement using a collar-reinforced mitral prosthesis for severe mitral annular calcification, which secures implantation in both the supra-annular and intra-atrial positions: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Background Appropriate management of mitral annular calcification associated with mitral valve surgery must be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, an established procedure remains uncertain.

Multimodality Cardiac Imaging for Procedural Planning and Guidance of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement and Mitral Paravalvular Leak Closure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Transcatheter mitral valve interventions are an evolving and growing field in which multimodality cardiac imaging is essential for diagnosis, procedural planning, and intraprocedural guidance. Currently, transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve with a balloon-

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus on MDCT: a rare intracardiac mass

Acta Radiologica Short Reports, 2013
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a rare form of chronic degenerative process in the mitral valve fibrous ring with a mass-like appearance that has to be in the differential of the radiologist and cardiologist.

Comparison Between the Acurate Neo and the Acurate Neo 2 Transcatheter Heart Valve System: Impact of Midframe Under‐Expansion

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the Acurate Neo has been linked to a significant incidence of paravalvular leakage (PVL), addressed by the Acurate Neo 2 incorporating an active sealing skirt. Recent findings suggest that midframe under‐expansion is associated with worse outcomes.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...
