Mitral balloon valvotomy and left atrial thrombus.
T he presence of thrombus in the left atrium (LA) is an important factor in the selection of cases for percutaneous mitral balloon valvotomy (MBV). This is because of the danger of embolisation caused by manipulation of guidewires and balloon catheters. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association recommendations for MBV emphasise absence of LA thrombus. Transoesophageal echoca...
متن کاملAnticoagulants and Mitral Valvotomy.
Prophylactic anticoagulant treatment prior to mitral valvotomy was first recommended by Storm and Hansen (1955). Several authors have since confirmed that this measure significantly reduces the incidence of operative and post-operative embolism. But this dreaded complication was entirely abolished only in Storm and Hansen's series and in the first series reported by Miscall et al. (1962). In al...
متن کاملMitral valvotomy and embolism.
We have studied the case records of 468 patients who underwent mitral valvotomy, 363 female and 105 male, to discover the incidence and site of systemic embolism before, at, and after operation, and the relation of embolism to cardiac rhythm and to the presence of clot in the left atrium at operation. Two hundred and seventy-two patients were operated upon in the Southampton Chest Hospital by t...
متن کاملMassive dilatation of the left atrium.
Sir, It is accepted that left recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis in association with massive dilatation of the left atrium is caused by compression between the aortic arch and pulmonary artery by upward displacement of the latter. The cause of dysphagia in these circumstances is less clear. Morgan and Mourant' suggest that it is the result of disordered peristalsis consequent upon stretching o...
متن کاملSemi-continuous left atrial pressure measurements during mitral valvotomy.
or fracturing the commissures, but, as far as can be ascertained, few papers give detailed information about the merits of these pressure readings. In an earlier report from this hospital Pedersen and Tybjaerg Hansen (1953) published measurements from the left atrium in 15 cases. In 12 cases of valvotomy for mitral stenosis without significant regurgitation a decrease of pressure was recorded i...
