Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty in Rheumatic Double Orifice Mitral Valve
We are reporting four cases of acquired double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) of rheumatic etiology (rare) presenting as significant mitral stenosis (MS) treated successfully by percutaneous intervention. All four patients are young (3 males, 1 female) who presented with dyspnea of Newyork heart association (NYHA) class II with mean duration of 1.3 years. Typical clinical findings of MS were prese...
متن کاملDouble-orifice mitral valve - echocardiographic findings.
BACKGROUND Double-orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is a rare congenital malformation characterised by the presence of two orifices in the left atrio-ventricular valve area, each having an independent chordal attachment to the papillary muscle. AIM To establish the echocardiographic features and incidence of DOMV in patients undergoing an echo study in a tertiary referral centre. METHODS We carri...
متن کاملDouble orifice mitral valve; a coincidental finding.
A double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) represents a rare congenital malformation characterised by two valve orifices with two separate subvalvular apparatus. This case demonstrates the necessity of careful imaging of the mitral valve apparatus, not only in patients with atrioventricular septal defects, but also in patients with congenital left obstructive heart disease.
متن کاملMitral Valve Stenosis after Open Repair Surgery for Non-rheumatic Mitral Valve Regurgitation: A Review
Mitral stenosis (MS) after mitral valve (MV) repair is a slowly progressive condition, usually detected many years after the index MV surgery. It is defined as a mean transmitral pressure gradient (TMPG) >5 mmHg or a mitral valve area (MVA) <1.5 cm(2). Pannus formation around the mitral annulus or extending to the mitral leaflets is suggested as the main mechanism for developing delayed MS afte...
