Is Mitral Valve Repair Safe Procedure in Elderly Patients? [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this randomized, prospective, study was to evaluate postoperative hospital mortality and morbidity after mitral valve repair by comparing two surgical techniques for resolving mitral valve insufficiency in elderly patients. In comparison were:

Same-Day Discharge After Transcatheter Native Aortic and Mitral Valve-in-Valve Replacement

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has become the gold standard of care in the management of patients with severe aortic stenosis and transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement seems to be an attractive alternative to redo surgery. We report the

Repeat crossclamp after failed initial degenerative mitral valve repair is safe and successfulCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objective: Surgical risk and long-term outcomes when re-crossclamp is required during degenerative mitral valve repair are unknown. We examined the outcomes of patients who required re-crossclamp for mitral valve reintervention.

Computational reduction strategies for the detection of steady bifurcations in incompressible fluid-dynamics: applications to Coanda effect in cardiology [PDF]

Journal of Computational Physics, 344 (2017), 534-557, 2017
We focus on reducing the computational costs associated with the hydrodynamic stability of solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a Newtonian and viscous fluid in contraction-expansion channels. In particular, we are interested in studying steady bifurcations, occurring when non-unique stable solutions appear as physical and/or ...

Degenerative mitral valve regurgitation: best practice revolution [PDF]

, 2017
Degenerative mitral valve disease often leads to leaflet prolapse due to chordal elongation or rupture, and resulting in mitral valve regurgitation. Guideline referral for surgical intervention centres primarily on symptoms and ventricular dysfunction ...

Prevention of LVOT Obstruction by Device-Mediated Laceration of the Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflet During TMVR

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction represents a life-threatening complication in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve replacement. Interventional approaches to prevent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction are complex and require ...
