On-pump fibrillating heart mitral valve replacement with the SAPIEN™ XT transcatheter heart valve [PDF]

, 2017
In some high-risk patients, standard mitral valve replacement can represent a challenging procedure, requiring a risky extensive decalcification of the annulus. In particular, high-risk redo patients and patients with a previously implanted transcatheter

Short-term outcomes of repair vs. replacement for rheumatic mitral valve disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThe main types of surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease are traditional percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), mitral valve replacement (MVR) with removal of the original valve, and valve repair with preservation of the original

Analysis of left ventricular behaviour in diastole by means of finite element method [PDF]

, 1979
The human left ventricle in diastole can be modelled as a passive structure with incremental internal pressure change being considered as the load. Recent developments in engineering stress analysis provide techniques for predicting the behaviour of ...

Mitral valve replacement using a collar-reinforced mitral prosthesis for severe mitral annular calcification, which secures implantation in both the supra-annular and intra-atrial positions: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Background Appropriate management of mitral annular calcification associated with mitral valve surgery must be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, an established procedure remains uncertain.

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]

, 2018
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

Resolution of severe secondary mitral valve regurgitation following aortic valve replacement in infective endocarditis

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021
We present the case of a patient with infective endocarditis anesthetized for replacement of severely regurgitant aortic valve. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed a new diagnosis of severe secondary mitral regurgitation.

Treatment of mitral stenosis [PDF]

, 2017
In patients with mitral stenosis the need for therapeutic intervention can be assessed by clinical and non-invasive data. Mitral valve replacement is indicated when marked dyspnoea on mild exertion, dyspnoea at rest or pulmonray oedema, haemoptpis ...
