Allograft Mitral Valve Replacement

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 1999
Allograft valves have been used in cardiac valve replacement for over 40 years. Early failures of allograft mitral valve replacement (AMVR) were attributed to inadequate allograft preservation or unsuccessful implantation techniques. Due to an improved understanding of mitral valve function gained from experience in mitral valve reconstruction ...

Improved mitral valve replacement

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1990
We describe a simple, reproducible technique of achieving more normal left ventricular function after mitral valve replacement. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sutures are used as chordae tendineae to restore the integrity between the mechanical valve and papillary muscles and thus the left ventricular wall.

Technique of Mitral Valve Replacement

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1980
A technique for mitral valve replacement is described that provides adequate exposure for excision of the valve and secure suturing of the annulus, even in patients with a small left atrium. The technique has been used in more than 100 patients and has resulted in only a minimal amount of perivalvular leak.

Robotic mitral valve replacement

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2014
Robotic surgical techniques allow surgeons to perform mitral valve surgery. This procedure has gained acceptance, particularly for mitral valve repair in degenerative mitral disease. However, mitral repair may not always be possible, especially in severely calcified mitral valve of rheumatic origin.

MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT IN CHILDREN

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1988
Rheumatic fever leading to advanced valvular heart disease, in adults and children, is still frequently seen in developing countries. In the period 1981–87, 1137 patients underwent open heart surgery for either repair (489 patients), or replacement (639 patients) of defective cardiac valves.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2016
Mitral valve disease prevalence is on the rise worldwide, affecting an estimated 2% of the general population. Novel transcatheter mitral valve replacement technologies are being developed and may provide a viable and safe option in patients who are deemed otherwise not suitable candidates for conventional mitral valve surgery.

Transaortic Mitral Valve Replacement

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2012
Transaortic replacement of the mitral valve at the time of aortic valve or root replacement is a rarely used technique that offers many possible advantages in the setting of multivalve replacement. Reports in the literature are few and dated. The purpose of this brief communication is to describe technical and procedural details specific to mitral ...

Risks of Mitral Valve Replacement and Mitral Valve Replacement with Coronary Artery Bypass

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1985
One hundred thirty consecutive patients who underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR) or MVR with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cold crystalloid cardioplegic solution were analyzed to determine operative mortality and risk factors. Twenty-eight patients had mitral stenosis (MS), 37 had mitral regurgitation (MR), 37 had mixed MS and MR, 23
