Introduction. Tricuspid regurgitation is associated with progressive right heart failure and increased mortality. The two principal repair techniques are ring annuloplasty (rigid prosthetic ring implantation) and the De Vega suture annuloplasty.

Biatrial Remodeling in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on left and right ventricular remodeling in cystic fibrosis (CF), whereas atrial function has not been assessed in detail so far.

Abstract Aims Amyloid cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) fibrils, that leads to a restrictive cardiomyopathy, often resulting in heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

Introduction: The tricuspid valve (TV) is a complex structure (Lamers et al. (1995) [1]). The most common cause of pathologic tricuspid regurgitation is functional, due to annular dilatation with normal leaflet morphology (Sagie et al.

Transcatheter closure of Ventricular Septal defects in Malta : initial experience [PDF]
Ventricular septal defects (VSD) consist of deficiencies of the wall separating the two ventricles. VSDs are the commonest congenital cardiac defects. Small VSDs rarely require intervention, however, larger defects cause ventricular volume overload with ...

Magnetic resonance imaging of abnormal ventricular septal motion in heart diseases: a pictorial review [PDF]
The purpose of this article is to illustrate the usefulness of MR imaging in the clinical evaluation of congenital and acquired cardiac diseases characterised by ventricular septal wall motion abnormality.

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Implantation of NaviGate Bioprosthesis in a Preclinical Model
Patients with isolated functional or recurrent tricuspid regurgitation are often denied surgery because they are considered to be at high risk. Transcatheter valve therapy provides a less invasive alternative for tricuspid regurgitation associated with ...

Background Annular dilation by left atrial remodeling is considered the main cause of atrial function mitral regurgitation. Although acceptable outcomes have been obtained using mitral ring annuloplasty alone for atrial functional mitral regurgitation ...

Effect Of Coronary Bypass And Valve Structure On Outcome In Isolated Valve Replacement For Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
Reports differ regarding the effect of concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients who undergo aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis (AS), and no reports have described the effect of aortic valve structure in patients who ...

Tricuspid valve regurgitation [PDF]
This thesis deals with surgery for tricuspid regurgitation, a valve in the right heart that separates the atrium from the ventricle. Like all valves, the tricuspid imposes a unidirectional pathway on the blood that prevents it from flowing back from the ventricle to the right atrium. When this condition occurs, it is called tricuspid regurgitation. The
