Mitral valve repair for infective endocarditis.
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the feasibility of mitral valve (MV) repair in patients with active or healed infective endocarditis (IE) with mitral regurgitation and evaluated effects on left ventricular (LV) function and structure. METHODS Subjects comprised 19 patients who underwent MV operations for IE between December 2004 and September 2007. MV repair was performed for acute IE in 10...
متن کاملBiodegradable materials for tricuspid valve repair in infective endocarditis.
We read with interest the report by Akinosoglou et al. [1] on the surgical management of tricuspid valve infective endocarditis. We congratulate the authors for their excellent and extensive review of the literature and for providing useful management algorithms. We would like to discuss biodegradable materials in this patient group. The authors divide the surgical techniques into non-prostheti...
متن کاملMitral valve repair for active culture positive infective endocarditis.
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and echocardiographic outcome after mitral valve (MV) repair for active culture positive infective MV endocarditis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1996 and 2004, 36 patients (mean (SD) age 53 (18) years) with positive blood culture up to three weeks before surgery (or positive culture of material removed at operation) and intraoperative evidence of endocarditi...
متن کاملSeverity Score for Mitral Valve Repair in Active Infective Endocarditis
Objectives: Whether to perform mitral valve (MV) repair is often difficult during infective endocarditis (IE), especially in patients with extensive leaflet destruction. The aim of this study was to develop scoring system to predict feasibility of mitral valve (MV) repair and select appropriate surgical candidates for repair during active IE. Methods: Patients who underwent MV repair for active...
متن کاملContemporary results of mitral valve repair for infective endocarditis.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the feasibility and immediate and late results of mitral valve repair (MVRep) for acute and healed endocarditis. BACKGROUND Improvements in techniques of MVRep have extended its feasibility in complex lesions, but experience with endocarditis is limited. METHODS Among 78 patients operated on for mitral endocarditis between 1990 and 1999, 63 underwent MVRep. ...
