Resolution of severe secondary mitral valve regurgitation following aortic valve replacement in infective endocarditis [PDF]
We present the case of a patient with infective endocarditis anesthetized for replacement of severely regurgitant aortic valve. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed a new diagnosis of severe secondary mitral regurgitation.

An unusual cause of recurrent mitral regurgitation after percutaneous mitral valve repair. [PDF]
Recurrent flail leaflet represents an infrequent cause of recurrent mitral regurgitation after MitraClip. This report presents a case of recurrent severe MR due to a ruptured chorda tendineae after edge-to-edge ...

Hemodynamics in mitral regurgitation – before and after correction with MitraClip [PDF]
Haemodynamic changes in mitral regurgitation underlie triggering of patient’s symptoms and development of heart failure. A number of endovascular methods for the correction of mitral regurgitation successfully counteract pathological ...

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Assessment of mitral regurgitation [PDF]
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most commonly encountered valve lesion in modern clinical practice.1 The range of pathologies producing regurgitant mitral valve dysfunction is broad (table 1) and the condition may be met in virtually any medical speciality.

Ischaemic mitral regurgitation [PDF]
A 79-year-old woman with a history of treated hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation was referred because of increasing shortness of breath at minimal exercise. Blood pressure was 110/49 mmHg, heart rate 80 b.p.m. (peak exercise rate 146 b.p.m.), and brain natriuretic peptide 86 pg/mL. Myocardial perfusion scan [ Panel A : stress (upper …
