Degenerative Mitral Stenosis—Diagnostic Challenges and Future Directions

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Determining the severity of stenosis in degenerative mitral stenosis (DMS) is fraught with challenges. Neither a high trans-mitral gradient nor a small valve area calculation is sufficiently diagnostic for DMS due to variable left atrial and left ...

Cost-utility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation for inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis treated by medical management: a UK cost-utility analysis based on patient-level data from the ADVANCE study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
OBJECTIVE: To use patient-level data from the ADVANCE study to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to medical management (MM) in patients with severe aortic stenosis from the perspective of the UK ...

Left atrial Thrombus formation after discontinuation of anticoagulation in patient with severe bioprosthetic mitral stenosis

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background Mitral valve stenosis can be a highly symptomatic condition with significant complications if left untreated. In such cases, mitral valve replacement with a bioprosthetic or mechanical valve may be a viable solution to prevent progressive ...

Bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis in a case of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and tricuspid valve replacement

open access: yesJournal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2022
Very little is known about the occurrence of bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis in the Indian population that usually occurs within 8–10 years following tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) with a bioprosthetic valve.

Percutaneous dual-valve intervention in a high-risk patient with severe aortic and mitral stenosis

open access: yesHeart Views, 2016
Aortic stenosis is the most frequent and mitral stenosis is the least frequent native single-sided valve disease in Europe. Patients with the combination of severe symptomatic degenerative aortic and mitral stenosis are very rare.

Posterior to Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflets Length Ratio as a Simple Parameter in Assessing the Severity of Mitral Stenosis

open access: yesMajalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2017
Background: Determining the severity of mitral stenosis is important for both prognostic and therapeutic reasons. TTE is the gold standard method for assessment of severity mitral stenosis by using planimetry and pressure half time (PHT).

Mitral valve replacement at Tygerberg Hospital: a 5 year follow-up

open access: yesSA Heart Journal, 2017
This study provides 5-year follow-up data of isolated mitral valve replacements with mechanical prosthesis at a large South African tertiary hospital. It also assessed the significance of pre-operative parameters to predict mortality.

Transfemoral Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation With a Dedicated Device in a Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Patient

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2023
A 65-year-old obese woman with rheumatic heart disease and restrictive lung disease presented with decompensated heart failure. Evaluation demonstrated severely thickened mitral valve leaflets, severe mitral stenosis, and moderate mitral regurgitation ...

Left atrial calcification: Case report and review of literature

open access: yesJournal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2018
Calcification of left atrium is often associated with rheumatic valvular heart disease. It has been described mostly in cases with long standing mitral stenosis and also in patients with mitral valve replacement.
