Mitral Valve Imaging with CT: Relationship with Transcatheter Mitral Valve Interventions.
The role of noninvasive imaging to help guide transcatheter aortic valvular interventions is well established and has grown with the advances in the procedure.

Computational reduction strategies for the detection of steady bifurcations in incompressible fluid-dynamics: applications to Coanda effect in cardiology [PDF]
We focus on reducing the computational costs associated with the hydrodynamic stability of solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a Newtonian and viscous fluid in contraction-expansion channels. In particular, we are interested in studying steady bifurcations, occurring when non-unique stable solutions appear as physical and/or ...

Alfieri stitch for temporary severe functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement
The outcome in functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement is unclear. A frail 82-year-old woman with severe aortic valve regurgitation and mild to moderate functional mitral valve regurgitation (NYHA functional class III) was referred

Prediction model for degeneration behaviour of mitral valve [PDF]
Degenerative mitral valve prolapse without proper monitoring can cause severe mitral valve failure and occasionally lead to sudden death if the surgical correction is not performed on time.

Mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis: a report of four cases and a systematic review of the literature [PDF]
Libman-Sacks endocarditis of the mitral valve was first described by Libman and Sacks in 1924. Currently, the sterile verrucous vegetative lesions seen in Libman-Sacks endocarditis are regarded as a cardiac manifestation of both systemic lupus ...

New insights into mitral valve dystrophy: a Filamin-A genotype–phenotype and outcome study
Aims Filamin-A (FLNA) was identified as the first gene of non-syndromic mitral valve dystrophy (FLNA-MVD). We aimed to assess the phenotype of FLNA-MVD and its impact on prognosis.

Sydenham's chorea (SC) is the neurological manifestation associated with acute rheumatic fever (ARF), triggered by a group A streptococcal (GAS) infection. Anti‐GAS antibodies cross‐reacting with tissue proteins are implicated in the development of neurological changes. In this study, using an animal model, we demonstrate that a compromised blood–brain

Objective: Surgical risk and long-term outcomes when re-crossclamp is required during degenerative mitral valve repair are unknown. We examined the outcomes of patients who required re-crossclamp for mitral valve reintervention.
