Mitral Valve Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1997Patients 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.

Floppy mitral valve, mitral valve prolapse, and mitral valvular regurgitation
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001It is well recognized that the floppy mitral valve (FMV) complex is the central issue in the FMV, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and mitral valvular regurgitation (MVR) story. MVP associated with the FMV results from the systolic movement of portions or segments of the FMV complex into the left atrium (LA).

Transcatheter mitral valve repair - transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty
EuroIntervention, 2014Percutaneous mitral valve therapies have emerged as an alternative option for high-risk patients with mitral regurgitation. Multiple technologies and diversified approaches are today under clinical study or in development and they can be categorised based on the anatomically and pathophysiologically addressed target.

Annual Review of Medicine, 1987
Mitral valve prolapse continues to arouse considerable interest because of its worldwide prevalence, lack of unanimity in diagnostic criteria, and association with such potentially serious complications as angina-like chest pain, cardiac arrhythmias, sudden death, progressive mitral regurgitation, cerebral embolism, and infective endocarditis.

Embryology of the mitral valve
International Journal of Cardiology, 1986Development of the aortic (anterior) leaflet of the mitral valve was studied in human embryos from 3.6 to 25 mm crown-rump length. The notion that endocardial cushion tissue does not materially contribute to the atrioventricular valves has yet to be investigated for this particular leaflet. The study showed that the fused endocardial cushions act as an

Hospital Practice, 1985
The most common valvular disorder in the United States was identified only 20 years ago. Characterized by nonexertional chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue, and psychiatric disturbances, it can often be diagnosed by stethoscope. In some cases, various cardiographic and visualization techniques may be necessary.

Mitral stenosis is an obstruction of blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. It is generally caused by rheumatic heart disease [1, 2]. Other causes of mitral stenosis are: severe calcification of the valve leaflets, congenital defects of the mitral valve, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), tumors, left atrial thrombi, vegetations due to

The Mitral Valve and the Lungs
CHESTMitral valve disease has a significant impact on the respiratory system. Present-day pulmonologists must be aware of its myriad presentations and evolving treatment landscape.Mitral valve disease can lead to a variety of manifestations in the respiratory system.

European Heart Journal, 1984
Mitral stenosis is a progressive lesion carrying a relatively high risk of sudden incapacitation from systemic embolus or the onset of atrial fibrillation. Since the condition is likely to be significant when diagnosed, it is not compatible with single-crew professional operations and requires careful supervision.
