Surgical treatment of mitral valve insufficiency by valve repair [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the short term results of mitral valve repair in a consecutive series of mitral insufficiency patients from different ethiologies. METHODS: A retrospective study was made of 86 patients with mitral insufficiency operated on between ...

Mitral valve prolapse is a fairly common medical problem that is the focus of some controversy and even confusion among both physicians and those who suffer from it. There is at the same time less to it and more to it than at first appears.

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

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery I: Patient Selection, Evaluation, and Planning. [PDF]
Widespread adoption of minimally invasive mitral valve repair and replacement may be fostered by practice consensus and standardization. This expert opinion, first of a 3-part series, outlines current best practices in patient evaluation and selection ...

Transcatheter Mitral‐Valve Repair in Patients with Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Among patients with heart failure who have mitral regurgitation due to left ventricular dysfunction, the prognosis is poor. Transcatheter mitral‐valve repair may improve their clinical outcomes.

Volume-Outcome Association of Mitral Valve Surgery in the United States.
Importance Early surgery for severe primary degenerative mitral regurgitation is recommended, provided optimal outcomes are achievable. Contemporary national data defining mitral valve surgery volume and outcomes are lacking.

Background Recent evidence has showed us that quality of mitral valve repair is strongly related to volume. However, this study shows how low-volume centers can achieve results in mitral valve repair surgery comparable to those reported by referral ...

AbstractThis work is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves are anchored to the papillary muscles inside the left ventricle.
