Multiple calcific embolism following mtral valvotomy.
Calcification of the valve is frequently encountered at valvotomy for the relief of mitral stenosis. Calcific embolism is a recognized hazard of the operation, but Michell (1960), who has reviewed the problem of valvular calcification with regard to mitral valvotomy, has stated that, "the danger from calcific emboli during valvotomy does not seem to be very great." Perhaps it is not always reco...
متن کاملValvotomy in calcific mitral stenosis.
The results of transventricular mitral valvotomy in 50 cases of heavily calcified mitral stenosis are presented. The mortality and quality of results in patients undergoing a first valvotomy were more satisfactory than in patients undergoing a second operation. Associated mitral incompetence has an adverse effect on the results, particularly after a second operation. As a result, it is suggeste...
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 کاملCalcific Embolization Associated W with Valvotomy for Calcific Aortic Stenosis.
EMBOJIZATION by calcified valvular debris from the aortic valve has been reported to occur spontaneously1-3 and in association with aortic valvotomy.49 The purpose of the present study was to estimate the approximate incidence of calcifie emboli related to operations involving the aortic valve, to document the sites of embolization, and to determine the clinical consequences of the embolic event.
متن کاملClosed mitral valvotomy.
The results of closed mitral valvotomy operations in 359 patients operated on from August 1957 to October 1974 were assessed at July 1975. About 60% of the patients were in good health. These results suggest that there is still a place for closed mitral valvotomy in carefully selected cases.
