Mitral Valve Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1997
Patients with ischemic mitral incompetence have a high operative risk whether the valve is repaired or replaced. The advantage of repair over replacement is unclear in this group of patients.Between April 1986 and December 1994, 232 patients underwent surgery for ischemic mitral valve insufficiency; mitral valve replacement was performed in 98 of them.

Mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral insufficiency

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991
Over a 5-year period, 1,292 patients had operation on their native mitral valves. Ischemia was the cause of mitral insufficiency in 84 patients (6.5%). Sixty-five patients (77.4%) had mitral valve repair. Mean age was 66 +/- 10 years; 35 patients (53.8%) were women.

Mitral valve repair for significant mitral insufficiency

American Heart Journal, 1978
There has been skepticism since the early days of open heart surgery that good long-term or even short-term results were possible with repair of pure mitral insufficiency. The authors report 145 patients in whom a markedly insufficient mitral valve was repaired 6 months to 17 years previously and another 55 patients in whom repair of the insufficient ...

Spring Valve for Mitral Insufficiency

A.M.A. Archives of Surgery, 1955
The surgical attack upon acquired heart disease has progressed at a rapid pace since the advent of mitral commissurotomy in 1949. 1 The outstanding valvular defect, which still is unsolved from a surgical standpoint, is mitral insufficiency. Bailey 2 found at operation that 21.7% of patients operated upon for mitral stenosis had a significant amount of

Early experience with mitral valve reconstruction for mitral insufficiency

The American Journal of Surgery, 1991
Mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation has been reported to have more favorable early and late results than mitral valve replacement. From July 1985 through July 1990, 63 patients have undergone valve repair at Good Samaritan Hospital. Twenty-two men and 41 women whose ages ranged from 34 to 81 years (mean 67.9 years) were treated.

Myxomatous Transformation of the Mitral Valve Producing Mitral Insufficiency

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1970
Mitral regurgitation in children is most commonly associated with chronic rheumatic heart disease, and a number of congenital cardiac lesions may produce a similar lesion. Not uncommonly, a diagnostic problem arises in the older child with classical findings of mitral regurgitation without a history of rheumatic fever.

Results of mitral valve reconstruction in mitral valve insufficiency.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 1995
In the last three years forty mitral valve reconstruction (MR) procedures were performed in case of mitral insufficiency (MI). In three cases, anatomical changes made reconstruction impossible for us. One patient had to be re-operated because of unsatisfactory valve function. There was no operative mortality.

[Repair in rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency].

Giornale italiano di cardiologia, 1997
Emerging evidence indicates that etiology plays an essential role in the results of mitral valve repair. In this study, we examined the long-term performance of this procedure in 61 consecutive patients with pure rheumatic mitral insufficiency.Patient ages ranged from 4 to 74 years (mean: 51.7 +/- 16).
