Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1993
Progress in valve repair and replacement continued over the past year. Aortic valve repair for aortic insufficiency appears promising, and aortic decalcification may still be a useful alternative in certain cases of aortic stenosis. Mitral valve repair, well accepted for myxomatous valves, presents a challenge in ischemic disease.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1978
Despite continued refinement of heart valve prostheses, valve replacement carries risks of thromboembolic, mechanical, and infectious complications, and long-term success is further limited by the eventual wear of prosthetic parts. In many patients with congenital or acquired valve diseases, valve function may be improved, if not restored, by ...

Reviews in Vascular Medicine, 2013
Abstract Main techniques proposed to restore venous competency in deep and superficial veins are reported. These include creation of “neovalves”, valve reparation, and implantation of prosthetic valves.

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).

Surgery of the Internal Nasal Valve
Facial Plastic Surgery, 1995Over the past 25 years external rhinoplasty has become increasingly popular. Some rhinosurgeons recommend its use widely, even in routine cases. In our view, however, the classical endonasal approaches remain the first choice. Open rhinoplasty offers an excellent visualization and therefore facility of precise correction, but causes a larger area of ...

Status of mitral valve surgery
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2004To review the evolution of mitral valve repair and outline currently favored repair techniques.Chordal replacement with polytetrafluoroethylene sutures is an accepted and reproducible technique for repair of the anterior leaflet. Most posterior leaflet problems can be addressed with either a quadrangular resection or a sliding repair.Mitral valve ...

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 ...

Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007As alternatives to standard sternotomy, surgeons have developed innovative, minimally invasive approaches to conducting valve surgery. Through very small skin incisions and partial upper sternal division for aortic valve surgery and right minithoracotomy for mitral surgery, surgeons have become adept at performing complex valve procedures.

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 ...

Ahmed valve in glaucoma surgery
Vestnik oftal'mologii, 2017This is a review on Ahmed valve application in glaucoma surgery. It contains, in particular, data on the Ahmed valve efficiency, results of experimental and histological studies of filtering bleb encapsulation, examines the use of antimetabolites and anti-VEGF agents, and discusses implantation techniques.
