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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

An image of mitral valve repair
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2005Mitral regurgitation is a severe problem of the mitral valve mechanism caused by many factors, including ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy, inflammation, degeneration and others. Regardless of the cause of valve dysfunction, many changes in surgical approach have been undertaken.

Transcatheter mitral valve repair - transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty
EuroIntervention, 2014Percutaneous mitral valve therapies have emerged as an alternative option for high-risk patients with mitral regurgitation. Multiple technologies and diversified approaches are today under clinical study or in development and they can be categorised based on the anatomically and pathophysiologically addressed target.

Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation is nowadays one of the most common valvular procedures. Different technical modifications were added to the original Carpentier's method, trying to maximise the stability of the results and to reduce the incidence of immediate complications and of late failure of the correction. Survival is good,
