Robotic mitral valve replacement
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2014Robotic 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.

Aortic Valve Replacement With Mitral Valve Repair Compared With Combined Aortic and Mitral Valve Replacement [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007 Double valve replacement is associated with reduced long-term survival. This study investigates aortic valve replacement with mitral valve repair as an alternative to double valve replacement in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD).Between January 1995 and December 2005, 369 patients with RHD underwent combined aortic and mitral valve procedures.

MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT IN CHILDREN
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1988Rheumatic 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, 2016Mitral 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.

Risks of Mitral Valve Replacement and Mitral Valve Replacement with Coronary Artery Bypass
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1985One 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

Mitral valve replacement using a mitral homograft
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011Mitral valve dysfunction is not always amenable to repair, and may necessitate valve replacement. An alternative to standard mechanical and biological prostheses is the use of homografts. The following manuscript and videos describe our surgical approach to mitral valve replacement with a complete mitral homograft in a cadaveric heart model.

Mitral Valve Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Replacement for Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1997Patients with ischemic mitral incompetence have a high operative risk whether the valve is repaired or replaced. The advantage of repair over replacement is unclear in this group of patients.Between April 1986 and December 1994, 232 patients underwent surgery for ischemic mitral valve insufficiency; mitral valve replacement was performed in 98 of them.

This 16-mm color-sound, 30-min duration film shows the operation of a mitral valve replacement in a 12-Year-old child who had severe mitral regurgitation secondary to rheumatic endocarditis, frequently observed in the younger population of the Venezuelan Andes.

Mitral valve replacement with mechanical or bioprosthetic valve
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005A presentation on the technique of mitral valve replacement is shown: exposure and excision of the diseased mitral valve is demonstrated along with the use of sub-annular and supra-annular interrupted suture techniques for securing biological and mechanical mitral prostheses. A brief overview of the literature is presented.

In our area of the world replacement of the mitral valve has become a widely accepted therapeutic procedure since 1960 when Starr and Harken independently successfully first replaced mitral valves and established the concept of functional rather than anatomical repair of mitral valve disease. It is evident from other experience presented in this volume
