Mitral valve repair in ischemic mitral regurgitation

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005
Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a common complication after acute myocardial infarction due to annulus dilatation and papillary muscles displacement. In our opinion 3/4 and 4/4 IMR have always to be indicated for MV surgery. In presence of low EF and dilated LV, moderate (2/4) IMR has to be corrected.

Mitral valve repair for traumatic mitral regurgitation

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2015
Mitral valve injury after blunt chest trauma is a rare clinical condition. We describe a case of mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation due to blunt chest trauma 5 years previously. A 22-year-old man was referred to our hospital for surgical correction of severe mitral regurgitation.

Mitral Valve Repair for Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation

Angiology, 2008
Our aim was to evaluate midterm results in patients who underwent mitral valve repair (MVR) for ischermic mitral regurgitation (IMR) in our most recent experience. From March 2006 to March 2008, 105 patients underwent MVR for IMR. Mean IMR grade was 2.6 ± 1.1, with 46 patients having ≤2/4 and 59 ≥3/4.

Mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral insufficiency

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991
Over a 5-year period, 1,292 patients had operation on their native mitral valves. Ischemia was the cause of mitral insufficiency in 84 patients (6.5%). Sixty-five patients (77.4%) had mitral valve repair. Mean age was 66 +/- 10 years; 35 patients (53.8%) were women.

Mitral valve repair for significant mitral insufficiency

American Heart Journal, 1978
There 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 ...

Repair of the anterior mitral leaflet*

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1993
Abstract Background: Repair rather than replacement of the diseased mitral valve has been the goal of the cardiac surgeon. Although well accepted for posterior leaflet pathology, a diseased anterior leaflet was believed by some to be irreparable.

Mitral valve repair in the treatment of mitral regurgitation

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2009
Because there is no proven effective medical therapy for mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral valve repair (MVRpr) is the treatment of choice for patients with severe primary nonrheumatic MR. A successfully performed and properly timed MVRpr may lead to a normal lifestyle and life span. The alternative to repair is mitral valve replacement. Although there

Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006
Surgical mitral valve repair is the procedure of choice to treat mitral regurgitation of all etiologies. Whereas annuloplasty is the cornerstone of mitral valve repair, a variety of other surgical techniques are utilized to correct dysfunction of the leaflets and subvalvular apparatus; in most cases, surgical repair entails application of multiple ...

Devices for Mitral Valve Repair

Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, 2014
The natural history of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is unfavorable, leading to left ventricular failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and death. Many patients affected by severe regurgitation (MR) do not currently undergo surgery, mainly due to the perceived risk of the procedure (old age, impaired left ventricular function, and comorbidities ...

Chordal replacement in mitral repair

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2010
Chordal replacement has been a tool in mitral repair for two decades and is a particularly suitable option for the treatment of anterior mitral leaflet (AML) prolapse. Chordal replacement has also become an alternative to more conventional techniques in posterior leaflet prolapse.
