Advances in Mitral Valve Surgery
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018Mitral valve (MV) insufficiency, classified as primary and secondary mitral regurgitation (MR), is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. In industrialized countries, degenerative forms are the predominant cause of MR; however, an increasing number of patients present with secondary MR (Iung et al. EHJ 24:1231-1243, 2003).

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003
A renaissance in cardiac surgery has begun. The early clinical experience with computer-enhanced telemanipulation systems outlines the limitations of this approach despite some procedural success. Technologic advancements, such as the use of nitinol U-clips (Coalescent Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) instead of sutures requiring manual knot tying, have ...

Surgery for Mitral Valve Endocarditis
Chest, 1979The records of 20 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement for complications of bacterial endocarditis were reviewed. Although the indications for surgery were the same as those for patients with aortic endocarditis, major emboli (cerebral, coronary or retinal) prompted surgery in 8 of 20 patients, a much higher incidence than reported for ...

Update on mitral valve surgery
Journal of Artificial Organs, 2005Recently, the outcome for patients with mitral valve disease has significantly improved. This may be due to concomitant advances in many fields. In particular, the development of surgical techniques has contributed to this improvement, and many surgical techniques and topics are introduced in this article.

Closed-heart mitral commissurotomies followed later by open-heart commissurotomies and mitral valve replacements were the most frequent valve procedures from the 1950s to the 1970s. Aortic valve surgery gradually has become the more frequent procedure and the number of mitral procedures has slowly decreased.

The earliest operations on the mitral valve, by Souttar,47 Cutler,15 Bailey,4 and others, were bold surgical feats. Since this pioneering surgery, great advances have been made. The early closed operations have been replaced by open procedures with full visualization of the valve, allowing precise repair or replacement.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery for Mitral Valve Infective Endocarditis
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2017Background The feasibility of minimally invasive mitral valve (MV) surgery in infective endocarditis (IE) has not been reported in detail. We assessed the safety, efficacy, and durability of the minimally invasive approach through a right anterolateral minithoracotomy for surgical treatment of MV IE.

In Western developed countries, mitral valve surgery usually involves degenerative or Barlow’s valve diseases causing mitral regurgitation; the mitral valve can usually be repaired successfully. However, in developing countries, rheumatic mitral valve diseases causing mitral stenosis or regurgitation or both, is still common and repairing these valves ...

Abstract Recent progress in the development of a new surgical procedure for the relief of mitral stenosis which permits visualization of the inside of the cavity of the heart during the operation 1 justifies the hope that this distressing condition, which so often resists all medical treatment, may sometimes be relieved by a practical and reasonably ...
