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 ...

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation accompanying mitral stenosis: the concept for a trial. [PDF]
Patients at thromboembolic risk with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) can now be managed either with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or with a fixed dose of a non-VKA oral anticoagulant (NOAC), while patients with valvular AF have been restricted to ...

Balloon dilation of mitral stenosis in adult patients: Postmortem and percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty studies [PDF]
Preliminary reports have documented the utility of percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty of the mitral valve in adult patients with mitral stenosis, but the mechanism of successful valve dilation and the effect of mitral valvuloplasty on cardiac performance

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is increased in patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis?
Objective The role of systemic and chronic inflammatory processes in the pathophysiology of rheumatic heart valve disease is well known. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was shown to be an indicator of systemic inflammation.

Mitral valve-in-valve and valve-in-ring: tips, tricks, and outcomes.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is now a mainstay of treatment in patients with aortic stenosis who are considered intermediate, high and prohibitive risk for surgery.

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

Modeling the Mitral Valve [PDF]
This thesis is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets attached to a ring, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves are anchored to muscles inside the heart.
