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

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

Surgical treatment of tricuspid regurgitation after mitral valve surgery: a retrospective study in China [PDF]
Background Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) occurs in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease even after mitral valve surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze surgical results of TR after previous successful mitral valve surgery. Methods

A virtual sizing tool for mitral valve annuloplasty. [PDF]
SummaryFunctional mitral regurgitation, a backward leakage of the mitral valve, is a result of left ventricular growth and mitral annular dilatation. Its gold standard treatment is mitral annuloplasty, the surgical reduction in mitral annular area through the implantation of annuloplasty rings.

Mitral annulus dynamics in myxomatous mitral valve disease [PDF]
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 ...

Mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation in pediatrics and children: Initial experience
Introduction Mitral valve repair in pediatrics has been slow because of the great variety in congenital mitral valve malformations and the still unknown growing effect over the mitral valve.
