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

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.

Decreased paraoxonase 1, arylesterase enzyme activity, and enhanced oxidative stress in patients with mitral and aortic valve insufficiency.

Clinical Laboratory, 2013
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is reportedly associated with several cardiovascular diseases. The antioxidant ability of high density lipoprotein (HDL) is, at least in part, attributable to the pleiotropic serum paraoxonase (PON1).

MUSCULAR INSUFFICIENCY OF THE MITRAL VALVE.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1902
CLINICAL HISTORY OF THE ACUTE FORM. The muscular mitral insufficiencies may present themselves in two forms: first, acute; second, chronic. The acute cases present themselves during the course of those diseases which affect the myocardium. These are diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid, acute articular rheumatism, and in general, the acute infections ...

Pulmonary sequestration presenting as mitral valve insufficiency

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1998
Although pulmonary sequestrations commonly present with infectious complications, problems relating to high blood flow through the lesion are rarely apparent. A 4-year-old girl was referred for cardiac catheterization and evaluation for mitral valve surgery.

Effects of the ACE inhibitor quinapril on echocardiographic variables in horses with mitral valve insufficiency.

Journal of veterinary medicine. A, Physiology, pathology, clinical medicine, 2003
Twenty horses with mitral valve insufficiency, but without signs of congestive heart failure, and five horses without signs of heart disease were examined before and after medication with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.

Results of the veterinary enalapril trial to prove reduction in onset of heart failure in dogs chronically treated with enalapril alone for compensated, naturally occurring mitral valve insufficiency.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2007
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of long-term enalapril administration in delaying the onset of congestive heart failure (CHF). DESIGN Placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter, randomized trial.

Mitral Valve Replacement in “Complex” Mitral Insufficiency: An Unusual Case of an Isolated Hammock Mitral Valve

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2009
The hammock mitral valve is a rare congenital abnormality resulting in mitral regurgitation or stenosis, with incidences ranging from 0% to 12% in pediatric surgical series. It is difficult to correct this condition by reconstructive techniques. We describe here an alone hammock valve without any cardiac malformation in a five-year-old patient who ...

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

The 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.

Electrocardiographic indications of significant mitral insufficiency in patients with mitral valve disease

American Heart Journal, 1957
Abstract Surgical correction of mitral stenosis has become an accepted procedure in selected cases. This has made it important to diagnose preoperatively in such cases the degree of competence of the mitral valve as well as the degree of stenosis. At present our tools for diagnosing significant mitral insufficiency in patients with rheumatic mitral ...
