Degenerative mitral valve regurgitation: best practice revolution [PDF]
Degenerative mitral valve disease often leads to leaflet prolapse due to chordal elongation or rupture, and resulting in mitral valve regurgitation. Guideline referral for surgical intervention centres primarily on symptoms and ventricular dysfunction ...

The potential of mitral valve quantification in cardiovascular surgery
Objective: To identify specifics of mitral valve anatomy in patients with mitral insufficiency of various origin using the Mitral Valve Quantification (MVQ) technique for an optimal choice of mitral valve repair strategy. Materials and methods: The study

Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with, ischemic, and degenerative (prolapse) disease, contributes to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to remodeling, and LV dilation, resulting in worsening of MR. Mitral valve (MV) surgical repair has provided improvement in survival, LV function and symptoms, especially when performed early.

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...

Mitral regurgitation is the second most frequent indication for valve surgery in Europe. Echocardiography is essential to assess the aetiology of mitral regurgitation, as well as valve anatomy and function. An integrative approach is needed to assess the

Need for expertise in mitral valve regurgitation [PDF]
The mitral annulus is a three-dimensional, saddle-shaped structure exhibiting dynamic conformational changes during the cardiac cycle.1 The normal annulus contracts and increases in saddle-shaped non-planarity during systole.2 3 Such annular dynamics are important for the balanced distribution of the mechanical stresses imposed by the left ventricle ...

Recurrence of Mitral Valve Regurgitation After Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]
To the Editor: Flameng and colleagues1 are to be congratulated on an excellent observational study of the long-term course after mitral valve repair. This type of data is badly needed. The report could have been improved, however, with less emphasis on statistics and more on the actual data.

Echocardiographic evaluation of mitral valve regurgitation [PDF]
Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for the evaluation of mitral valve regurgitation. A comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using different echocardiographic techniques provides important information regarding the etiology and ...
