Zeitschrift für Kardiologie, 2001
Over the past 40 years mitral valve surgery has changed dramatically. After initial enthusiasm with the introduction of valve prostheses in the 1960s, a renewed interest in repair techniques began in the 1970s with the introduction of annuloplasty rings. These repair techniques revealed that the integrity of the subvalvular apparatus plays an important

We present an eight year-old girl who required an operation for moderate mitral insufficiency associated with partial atrioventricular septal defect. Echocardiography disclosed an ostium primum atrial septal defect and double-orifice mitral valve with moderate mitral regurgitation secondary to a cleft in the anterior leaflet and prolapse of the ...

Mitral Valve Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1997
Patients with ischemic mitral incompetence have a high operative risk whether the valve is repaired or replaced. The advantage of repair over replacement is unclear in this group of patients.Between April 1986 and December 1994, 232 patients underwent surgery for ischemic mitral valve insufficiency; mitral valve replacement was performed in 98 of them.
