Computer-based comparison of different methods for selecting mitral annuloplasty ring size
BACKGROUND Ring sizing for mitral valve annuloplasty is conventionally done intraoperatively using specific 'sizer' instruments, which are placed onto the valve tissue. This approach is barely reproducible since different sizing strategies have been established among surgeons. The goal of this study is to virtually apply different sizing methods on the basis of pre-repair echocardiography to fi...
متن کاملHomemade expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene flexible mitral annuloplasty ring.
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular ...
متن کاملLeaflet-to-Annuloplasty Ring Clipping for Severe Mitral Regurgitation.
A n 86-year-old man presented with recurrent heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation in the setting of previous surgical mitral repair for degenerative valve disease. Surgery had consisted of placement of a 32-mm CarpentierEdwards Physio II annuloplasty ring (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California). Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a large anterior leaflet (Figure 1A, arrow...
متن کاملCorona Ring Optimization for Different Cases of Polymer Insulators Based on its Size and Distance
This paper describes the impact of the distance and the size of the corona ring, on the magnitude anddistribution of electrical potential across the polymer insulators. The procedure is based on finiteelement method numerical analysis and stochastic optimization algorithm of differential evolution(DE). The optimal selection of corona ring has a significant impact on the control of potential and...
متن کاملTransvenous mitral valve replacement after failure of surgical ring annuloplasty.
To the Editor: Mitral valve repair is the preferred treatment for itral regurgitation (MR). However, failure or recurrence of MR ight occur. Re-operation might carry a high risk in patients with omorbidities. A few reports have suggested the feasibility of ranscatheter mitral valve replacement after failure of surgical ring nnuloplasty (1–4). We report here the first series of transvenous itral...
