Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009Traditional cardiac valve replacement surgery is being rapidly supplanted by innovative, minimally invasive approaches toward the repair of these valves. Patients are experiencing benefits ranging from less bleeding and pain to faster recovery and greater satisfaction.

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 ...

Tricuspid Valve Surgery Revisited
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1994Contrary to general opinion, the tricuspid valve remains a challenge in terms of its precise diagnosis, indications, and appropriate surgical treatment. This is due to: (1) its relatively low incidence, (2) its functions in a low pressure system, (3) its close relation to right ventricular function, and (4) it following the dictates of the left-side ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1991
The decision to perform valve surgery requires knowledge of the natural history of valvular heart disease and of the results of surgical therapy. Recent reports have shed light on these important factors. Long-term results of valvular surgery are multifactorial, and data relating to age, type of prosthetic valve, and anticoagulation are presented.

[Hemolysis following valve surgery].
Italian heart journal. Supplement : official journal of the Italian Federation of Cardiology, 2003Hemolysis is a frequent complication of the implant of prosthetic valves, and is conditioned by a variety of factors, most of which related to the type of valve implanted and to the hemodynamic conditions following implantation. If sufficiently severe, it may lead to varying degrees of hemolytic anemia.

Similarly to aortic and mitral valve disease, both tricuspid stenosis and tricuspid regurgitation can be treated surgically. In clinical practice, however, surgical procedures for tricuspid stenosis are extremely rare. Numerous techniques for correction of tricuspid regurgitation have been elaborated since the 1960s but for decades surgeons have ...

The evolution over the last several decades of surgery for acquired disease of the tricuspid valve is characterized by steady movement away from replacement and toward techniques that conserve the valve. Replacement of the valve has become uncommon, occurring in less than 5% of patients undergoing tricuspid valve surgery.

Hemodynamically signifi cant aortic valve disease — both stenosis and regurgitation, regardless of its etiology — can be treated surgically. Adult patients with aortic stenosis require valve replacement with either mechanical or tissue valves. In patients with aortic regurgitation the valve can in some instances be repaired.

Assessment of nasal valve obstruction is complex, as it is quite difficult to diagnose the exact anatomical site of the nasal obstruction. The nose being a “subjective” organ, making “objective” assessments is always difficult. There is so much inter-observer variability in the diagnosis between experienced surgeons, and hence different management ...
