Determining the Severity of Mitral Valve Insufficiency
2013Determining the severity of regurgitation is perhaps the most delicate aspect of the diagnosis: in severe insufficiency it is the sine qua non condition when considering surgical intervention. Furthermore, whatever the etiology, the presence of severe mitral valve insufficiency causes an increase in mortality even in asymptomatic patients with normal ...

Multiple-leaflet mitral valve as a rare cause of congenital mitral insufficiency
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997A rare case of congenital mitral insufficiency characterized by six well-demarcated leaflets of mitral valve and annular dilatation is reported. At operation, the mitral valve was successfully repaired by resection of the posterior median leaflet with subsequent annular plication, closure of unusual valvular tissue divisions, and ring annuloplasty.

[Repair in rheumatic mitral valve insufficiency].
Giornale italiano di cardiologia, 1997Emerging 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).

Initial diastolic indentation of the mitral valve in aortic insufficiency
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1982AbstractAn abnormal diastolic indentation of the mitral valve has been noted on short‐axis two‐dimensional echocardiograms in patients with aortic insufficiency. In order to assess the clinical usefulness of this finding, we reviewed the echocardiograms of 18 patients with this lesion who had undergone cineaortography.

Economic impact of mitral valve plasty versus replacement for mitral valve insufficiency.
The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2003The principal techniques for surgical correction of mitral valve regurgitation (MR) were compared, with emphasis on the economic impact.In a prospective non-randomized study 225 patients undergoing mitral valve repair were analyzed, 75 had mitral valve plasty (MVP) and 150 had mitral valve replacement (MVR).

[Combined valve repair for mitral-aortic insufficiency].
Giornale italiano di cardiologia, 1995Reconstructive surgery is considered the best treatment of mitral insufficiency. Aortic valvuloplasty has been used only rarely in the past for the treatment of aortic insufficiency. Between October 1994 and November 1994, two patients admitted at our institution with the diagnosis of mitral and aortic insufficiency have been successfully submitted to ...

Evaluation of Regurgitation in Aortic and Mitral Valve Insufficiency
1985The quantification of regurgitated blood-volume in patients with aortic or mitral valve regurgitation is still difficult. Usually, angiographic methods are used to evaluate valvular incompetence. However, it is highly desirable to have a sensitive and specific non-invasive diagnostic procedure especially for severely ill patients, in cases with dubious

Catheter-Based Repair of Mitral Valve Insufficiency
2013Catheter-based percutaneous edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip device (Abbott Vascular; Abbott Park, IL, USA) is a well-established, effective, and safe procedure that can be utilized in selected patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). The procedure mimics Alfieri’s surgical technique, bringing the anterior and posterior leaflets together from ...
