Gemella morbillorum mitral valve endocarditis in a patient with a history of mitral valve annuloplasty. [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep, 2022
A woman with a history of congenital heart disease status post multiple valve operations including mitral valve repair presented with 2 months of low back pain and general malaise. Blood cultures returned positive for Gram-positive cocci. While transthoracic echocardiography did not identify vegetations, transoesophageal echocardiography visualised ...

Pathological Remodeling of Mitral Valve Leaflets from Unphysiologic Leaflet Mechanics after Undersized Mitral Annuloplasty to Repair Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2018
Background Undersized ring annuloplasty is a commonly used surgical repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation, in which annular downsizing corrects regurgitation, but alters valve geometry and elevates tissue stresses.

Doing a double take: when transthoracic echocardiography fails for mitral valve annuloplasty ring endocarditis with Streptococcus pyogenes: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background This case highlights several complications of a late and rare presentation of culture-negative Streptococcus pyogenes endocarditis of a previously repaired mitral valve with an annuloplasty ring including recurrent cardioembolic strokes, which

Progressive Right-Sided Heart Failure and Secondary Tricuspid Valve Disease in Pediatric Lutembacher Syndrome: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Cardiol
Background Lutembacher syndrome (LS) is a rare condition characterized by the coexistence of mitral stenosis (MS) and an atrial septal defect (ASD). Clinical manifestations vary according to the severity of MS and the size of the ASD. Case Presentation We report a 13‐year‐old female with congenital MS and a secundum ASD who presented with decompensated

Successful Mitral Valve Repair for Single Leaflet Device Attachment Following Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Cardiol
An 87‐year‐old man underwent transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER), one MitraClip NT︎ from anterior commissure (AC), 8 months prior for severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to functional etiology and A1 chordal rupture, complicated by heart failure.

Association of Transcatheter Direct Mitral Annuloplasty with Acute Anatomic, Haemodynamic, and Clinical Outcomes in Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Several approaches for transcatheter mitral valve repair for functional mitral valve regurgitation are established. Interventional direct annuloplasty is a novel trans‐venous, trans‐septal approach.

Mitral valve annuloplasty versus replacement for severe ischemic mitral regurgitation. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2018
AbstractAlthough practice guidelines recommend surgery for patients with severe chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (CIMR), they do not specify whether to repair or replace the mitral valve. 436 consecutive patients with severe CIMR were eligible for inclusion in the study, of which 316 (72.5%) underwent mitral valve annuloplasty (MVA) whereas 120 ...

Mitral annulus dynamics in myxomatous mitral valve disease [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Cardiology, 2021
Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MVD) is a common disorder in which the entire mitral valve apparatus seems to be involved. Mitral valve repair is nowadays the method of choice for the correction of mitral regurgitation but the optimal shape and ...
