Mitral valve repair for significant mitral insufficiency
American Heart Journal, 1978There has been skepticism since the early days of open heart surgery that good long-term or even short-term results were possible with repair of pure mitral insufficiency. The authors report 145 patients in whom a markedly insufficient mitral valve was repaired 6 months to 17 years previously and another 55 patients in whom repair of the insufficient ...

A Prosthesis for the Palliation of Mitral Insufficiency
Diseases of the Chest, 1956A polyvinyl sponge is used experimentally to straddle the posterior commissure of the mitral valve in the dog. This material will contract and be shaped as the pressures of the mitral leaflets dictate and thus tend to fill any area of valve deficiency that is present. The clinical implication is that this technique may be used to reduce the quantity of

The Echocardiogram in Nonrheumatic Mitral Insufficiency
Chest, 1974Echocardiography is the procedure of choice in separating rheumatic and nonrheumatic types of mitral insufficiency, and usually provides fair quantitative data to substantiate the degree of insufficiency. Angiography, in contrast, rarely furnishes additional information, and is usually less informative than echocardiography in the diagnosis of mitral ...

Misleading Signs in Mitral Insufficiency
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1965The clinical diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension in a patient with advanced mitral regurgitation must be made with reservation. In a review of 125 patients with proved mitral insufficiency, 22 were found who had all the physical signs of right heart hyperactivity, but who had normal or nearly normal right heart pressures and cardiac outputs, and who ...

Cardiodynamic Profile of Mitral Insufficiency
Chest, 1973Most cardiodynamic indices including positive and negative left ventricular (LV) dp/dt, and the ratio of either to left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) as well as to each other, deviate in nearly identical fashion with both myocardial impairment and preejection ventricular unloading of the type seen in mitral insufficiency.

Italian heart journal. Supplement : official journal of the Italian Federation of Cardiology, 2003
Over the past 15 years, outcome of patients with severe mitral insufficiency is significantly improved. This may be due to concomitant advances in many fields of medicine such as a more effective diagnosis and left ventricular function monitoring by means of echocardiography, development of useful guidelines and advances in valve reconstruction ...
