Repair Versus Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2008
Background: This study was undertaken to compare the outcome in patients with moderate to severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with either mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement.

Technologies in minimally invasive treatment of severe mitral regurgitation

open access: yesCardiology Journal
Mitral valve regurgitation is the second most common valve defect in Europe among adults. Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) results from structural abnormalities of the valve apparatus (e.g., leaflet prolapse, chordae rupture), often due to myxomatous ...

Is Mitral Valve Repair Superior to Mitral Valve Replacement in Elderly Patients? Comparison of Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes in a Propensity‐Matched Cohort

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundBecause of demographic changes, a growing number of elderly patients present with mitral valve (MV) disease. Although mitral valve repair (MV‐repair) is the “gold standard” treatment for MV disease, in elderly patients, there is controversy ...

Assessing a Model for a Complex Systemic Disorder—The Value of Male Mice With a Supernumerary X Chromosome for Klinefelter Syndrome Research

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Direct experimental investigation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in patients is limited because the syndrome manifests heterogeneously and affects multiple organ systems. Studying KS therefore requires a model that captures this complexity as accurately as possible while still permitting controlled experimental manipulation ...

Cardiovascular outcomes for Australian women with rheumatic heart disease during pregnancy: A retrospective linked data analysis, 2002–2017

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study used linked data to measure the proportion of women with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) who experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after 20 weeks of gestation. Before birth, 4.5% of women with initially uncomplicated RHD and 31.8% of women with initially complicated RHD experienced RHD‐MACE.

Comparison of Intraoperative Doppler Flow Measurements and Algorithmic Flow Estimations in Patients Undergoing Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Direct intraoperative HeartMate 3 LVAD flow measurements using an ultrasonic probe revealed consistently higher values by approximately 0.5 L/min compared to device‐estimated flows. This discrepancy remained stable across pump speed settings, highlighting the importance of distinguishing measured from estimated flow in HeartMate 3 patients.

Mitral valve repair for myxomatous degeneration and prolapse of the mitral valve

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1989
From 1984 to 1988, 129 mitral valve reconstructions were done for primary pure mitral regurgitation. Sixty-two (48%) were done for myxomatous degeneration and prolapse of the mitral valve. Anterior leaflet resection was performed in seven patients, posterior leaflet resection in 46, anteroposterior resection in four; five patients received only a ring ...
