Multiplane two-dimensional versus real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in ischemic mitral regurgitation. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been suggested to be a valuable technique for the evaluation of the mechanisms of ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR).

Biodegradable annuloplasty rings: evolution, characteristics and surgical technique
Annulus remodeling and stabilization with a ring have been demonstrated to be a mandatory step in mitral and tricuspid valve repair to ensure effective leaflet coaptation and improve long-term results. The need for a degradable ring stems from two areas

Comparison of Valve Annuloplasty and Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Valve Incompetence
Mitral incompetence is a chronic sequela of myocardial infarction. It is caused by apical displacement and tethering of the mitral valve leaflets after myocardial infarction, resulting in incomplete coaptation. The consensus is for mitral valve surgery in the presence of significant ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR).

Active mitral ring for post-surgical remote correction of residual mitral regurgitation on the beating heart† [PDF]
OBJECTIVES Residual mitral regurgitation after valve repair worsens patients' clinical outcome. Postimplant adjustable mitral rings potentially address this issue, allowing the reshaping of the annulus on the beating heart under echocardiography control.

Coronary artery grafting in infants [PDF]
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiac vale repair is an uncommon surgery in infants. CABG is technically demanding in infants due to the small size not only of the coronary arteries but also the potential graft arteries.
