Devices for Mitral Valve Repair
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, 2014The natural history of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is unfavorable, leading to left ventricular failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and death. Many patients affected by severe regurgitation (MR) do not currently undergo surgery, mainly due to the perceived risk of the procedure (old age, impaired left ventricular function, and comorbidities ...

Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]
Current Cardiology Reports, 2013 Nonsurgical treatment of clinically important mitral regurgitation (MR) has evolved tremendously over the past decade. Recent studies of percutaneous mitral valve repair procedures have shown that less invasive procedures are safe and can be effective in selected patients. MitraClip has been studied most extensively.

Mitral valve repair into the 1990s
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1992Mitral valvuloplasty has become an increasingly accepted alternative to valve replacement, although the strong learning curve attached to the procedure has deterred many surgeons from adopting it. Since it was developed in the late 1960s by Carpentier, comprehensive valvuloplasty has undergone modifications and additions dictated by the experiences ...

Mitral Valve Repair for Double-orifice Mitral Valve
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014We present an eight year-old girl who required an operation for moderate mitral insufficiency associated with partial atrioventricular septal defect. Echocardiography disclosed an ostium primum atrial septal defect and double-orifice mitral valve with moderate mitral regurgitation secondary to a cleft in the anterior leaflet and prolapse of the ...

Repair of Mitral-Valve Prolapse
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010To the Editor: In the review article by Verma and Mesana (Dec. 3 issue),1 mitral-valve prolapse is defined as the displacement of some portion of one or both mitral-valve leaflets into the left atrium during systole. This term was introduced in 1966 by Criley et al.2 and has been frequently used as a synonym for “billowing mitral leaflet,” which was ...

Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006Surgical mitral valve repair is the procedure of choice to treat mitral regurgitation of all etiologies. Whereas annuloplasty is the cornerstone of mitral valve repair, a variety of other surgical techniques are utilized to correct dysfunction of the leaflets and subvalvular apparatus; in most cases, surgical repair entails application of multiple ...

Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, 2012
Prognosis for dogs with severe mitral regurgitation is poor with medical therapy alone. Open surgical mitral valve repair consisting of circumferential mitral annuloplasty and artificial chordal replacement confers durability and improved long-term clinical outcome without a need for long-term antithrombotic therapies.

Complicated Mitral Valve Repairs
Cardiology in Review, 2001The standard of care for mitral regurgitation secondary to degenerative valvular disease is mitral valve repair whenever possible. Mitral valve repair is associated with better left ventricular function preservation, fewer complications, and improved survival as compared with mitral valve replacement.

Circulation, 1995
In this issue of Circulation , Enriquez-Sarano and his associates1 at the Mayo Clinic have made a valuable contribution to our understanding of mitral valve repair in relation to mitral valve replacement. In an elegant and detailed multivariate analysis, they conclude that mitral valve repair is an independent predictor of improved operative long-term ...

Advances in Mitral Valve Repair
Future Cardiology, 2009The results of mitral valve repair for structural disease are durable and are generally accepted to be superior to mitral valve replacement. Following the early pioneering work of Carpentier, most advances in mitral repair have involved performing the same repair through ever smaller incisions in hopes of minimizing tissue trauma.
