Melody Valve for Mitral Valve Replacement [PDF]
Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014 In certain pediatric patients with irreparable mitral valve disease, mitral valve replacement is necessary. One option for replacement in a child with small annulus is off label use of the Melody valve for mitral replacement. The device modifications and implantation technique are described, and focus on maneuvers to prevent perivalvular leak and left ...

Subvalvular left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement: Two-dimensional echocardiographic findings [PDF]
, 1985 Disruption of the posterior mitral anulus is a rare complication of mitral valve replacement that may result in subvalvular left ventricular pseudoaneurysm formation. Such pseudoaneurysm formation was easily recognized by two-dimensional echocardiography

Acta medica portuguesa, 1980 PRÓTESES VALVULARES CARDÍACAS Parece extraordinário que após vinte anos de experiência de substituições valvulares este assunto ainda seja um dos que se discute nos congressos de Cirurgia Cardíaca. Sem dúvida isto deve-se ao facto de ainda se não ter encontrado o substituto valvular cardíaco ideal e, nos últimos anos, tem-se desenvolvido a tendência ...

Results of matching valve and root repair to aortic valve and root pathology [PDF]
, 2011 ObjectiveFor patients with aortic root pathology and aortic valve regurgitation, aortic valve replacement is problematic because no durable bioprosthesis exists, and mechanical valves require lifetime anticoagulation. This study sought to assess outcomes
