Transcatheter mitral valve repair - transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty

open access: yesEuroIntervention, 2014
Percutaneous 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.

Mitral valve annuloplasty with a semirigid annuloplasty band in ischemic mitral regurgitation: early results

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007
A trigone-to-trigone semirigid annuloplasty band (C-G Future Band, Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) was introduced in 2001 for mitral valve repair. We report our early clinical and echocardiographic results with this new device to correct ischemic mitral regurgitation.Between January 2002 and December 2004, among 216 patients operated on ...

Mitral valve repair for functional mitral regurgitation: is annuloplasty alone enough?

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Cardiology, 2010
To outline indications and contraindications to mitral valve surgery in the clinical context of dilated cardiomyopathy and the surgical principles to follow in performing an undersized annuloplasty. Moreover, we will describe the characteristics of the patients for whom an annuloplasty alone is unlikely to provide an effective result and for whom ...

Mitral Valve Insufficiency: Suspension of the Posterior Leaflet to the Mitral Annuloplasty Ring

open access: yesThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008
Mitral valve insufficiency in rheumatic heart disease is often due to retracted posterior chordae and posterior leaflet thickening. Several surgical repair techniques have been described, but sometimes an acceptable coaptation of the mitral leaflets can not be achieved.
