Homograft Replacement of the Mitral Valve [PDF]
Replacement of the mitral valve with an aortic valve homograft has become feasible. Clinical and hemodynamic assessments of eight patients who received the new homograft were made from 3 to 6 months following surgery. Marked improvement was reported by six patients and mild to moderate improvement by two.

The results of transcatheter mitral valve replacement
Mitral insufficiency is one of the most common valvular pathology. In almost half of the patients, standard mitral valve replacement using extracorporeal circulation cannot be used due to the high risk of complications. In recent years, for this category

Mitral valve replacement in children
Mitral valve replacement (MVR) is associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates in children than in adults, and the use of heterograft valves has been encouraged. The results of MVR in 56 consecutive patients, aged 2 to 12 years, presenting between January, 1972, and January 1979, were reviewed to test these beliefs. The etiology of mitral valve
