Background Aortic valve calcium score is associated with hemodynamic severity of aortic stenosis. Whether this association is present in calcific mitral stenosis remains unknown.

OBJECTIVES Although mitral valve repair is rarely required in neonates, this population is considered to be at high risk for adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to review the indications for surgery, mechanisms, repair techniques, and mid-term ...

Flexible and Comprehensive Patient-Specific Mitral Valve Silicone Models with Chordae Tendinae Made From 3D-Printable Molds [PDF]
Given the multitude of challenges surgeons face during mitral valve repair surgery, they should have a high confidence in handling of instruments and in the application of surgical techniques before they enter the operating room. Unfortunately, opportunities for surgical training of minimally-invasive repair are very limited, leading to a situation ...

Simulation-Based Design of Bicuspidization of the Aortic Valve [PDF]
Objective: Severe congenital aortic valve pathology in the growing patient remains a challenging clinical scenario. Bicuspidization of the diseased aortic valve has proven to be a promising repair technique with acceptable durability. However, most understanding of the procedure is empirical and retrospective.

Life-threatening hemoptysis following mitral valvuloplasty for rheumatic mitral stenosis
Background: Massive hemoptysis is a rare complication of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. Its recurrence following successful initial treatment of the stenosis has not, to our knowledge, been described.

Balloon dilatation of isolated severe tricuspid valve stenosis
Tricuspid valve stenosis is mostly rheumatic in origin. It almost always occurs in association with mitral valve disease. There are only few case reports of isolated tricuspid valve stenosis.

Dimensionless index of the mitral valve for evaluation of degenerative mitral stenosis
AbstractPurposeDegenerative mitral stenosis (DMS) is an increasingly recognized cause of mitral stenosis. The goal of this study was to compare echocardiographic differences between DMS and rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS), identify echocardiographic variables reflective of DMS severity, and propose a dimensionless mitral stenosis index (DMSI) for ...

Dynamic simulation of aortic valve stenosis using a lumped parameter cardiovascular system model with flow regime dependent valve pressure loss characteristics [PDF]
Valvular heart diseases are growing concern in impoverished parts of the world, such as Southern-Africa, claiming more than 31 % of total deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. The ability to model the effects of regurgitant and obstructive lesions on the valve body can assist clinicians in preparing personalised treatments.
