Anatomy of the mitral valve: understanding the mitral valve complex in mitral regurgitation [PDF]
Imaging the mitral valve requires an understanding of the normal anatomy and how this complex structure is altered by disease states. Mitral regurgitation is increasingly prevalent. Despite the fall in rheumatic disease, it is the second most common valvular lesion seen in adults in Europe.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve-in-Valve Implantations Using Inverted J-Valve
BackgroundAs bioprosthetic valves are being widely used, the incidence of structural valve deterioration increases, as well as the need for reoperation. Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantations are being increasingly adopted as an alternative to
