Experimental stenting of the posterior mitral leaflet to correct prolapse in mitral valve insufficiency.
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the use of a new concept of mitral valve reconstruction using a novel device to stent the posterior mitral leaflet in combination with semicircular annuloplasty. Modern mitral valve repair is an accepted modality and a routine procedure for treatment of degenerative mitral valve insufficiency. One of the most common mechanisms of mitral valve insufficiency is l...
متن کاملUpside-down Drawing in Posterior Cortical Atrophy.
A 66-year-old man presented to the outpatient clinic of the Department of Cognitive Neurology, University Hospital Centre Zagreb with a 3-year history of progressive problems with reading, solving crossword puzzles, filling out bank slips, reaching objects in front of him and visual disorientation. At the time of presentation family reported that “he seemed like he could not see”. His past medi...
متن کاملThe new butterfly technique-a sophisticated repair method for posterior leaflet prolapse.
Mitral valve repair is currently considered the standard treatment for mitral regurgitation. Posterior leaflet prolapse has been treated by quadrangular resection and ring annuloplasty for many years. Although it is a classic and reproducible method, this technique may predispose to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. The incidence of SAM has been reporte...
متن کاملPosterior ventricular anchoring neochordal repair of degenerative mitral regurgitation efficiently remodels and repositions posterior leaflet prolapse.
OBJECTIVES Mitral valve repair techniques for degenerative disease typically entail leaflet resection or neochordal construction, which may require extensive resection, leaflet detachment/reattachment, reliance on diseased native chords or precise neochordal measuring. Occasionally, impaired leaflet mobility, reduced coaptation surface and systolic anterior motion (SAM) may result. We describe ...
متن کاملRisk factors of posterior pericardial annuloplasty for isolated posterior leaflet prolapse.
BACKGROUND Posterior autologous pericardial annuloplasty is an option in mitral valve repair. However, the durability of posterior pericardial annuloplasty remains controversial. METHODS From June 1999 to July 2004, 49 patients (18 male and 31 female; mean age, 64 +/- 12 years) with isolated posterior leaflet prolapse received posterior autologous pericardial annuloplasty. Transthoracic echoc...
