Mitral annular calcification as a cause of mitral valve gradients.
BACKGROUND Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is common, particularly in the elderly. While thought to occasionally produce significant mitral regurgitation, it is considered a rare cause of mitral stenosis. METHODS Echocardiogram reports from general cardiology outpatients were searched for phrases regarding severe MAC and, separately, for mitral stenosis. Rheumatic disease or other mitral v...
متن کاملModified Surgical Intervention for Extensive Mitral Valve Endocarditis and Posterior Mitral Annular Calcification
The concomitant presence of posterior mitral annular calcification and infectious mitral valve lesions poses a technical challenge with considerable perioperative risk when using previously proposed techniques for mitral valve surgery. Herein, we report a case of the use of a modified surgical technique to successfully treat a patient with mitral infective endocarditis complicated by a subendoc...
متن کاملSurgical removal of calcified amorphous tumor localized to mitral valve leaflet without mitral annular calcification
A cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) localized to the mitral valve leaflet without mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a rare entity. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman with such a condition, who underwent successful excision of the tumor and mitral valvuloplasty using a glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium. During 38 months of follow-up, no recurrence of a cardiac mass has...
متن کاملEdge-to-edge mitral valve repair without ring annuloplasty for acute ischemic mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Alfieri edge-to-edge mitral repair has been used clinically with ring annuloplasty to correct ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR), but its efficacy without concomitant ring annuloplasty has not been described in this setting. METHODS Seventeen sheep underwent implantation of 9 radiopaque markers on the left ventricle, 8 on the mitral annulus (MA), 1 on each papillary muscle (PM) ti...
