Isolated Chronic Inflammation in the Posterior Mitral Annulus
A 56-year-old patient presented to the outpatient clinic with dyspnea on exertion (functional class II) of several months’ duration. Physical examinations were unremarkable except for a systolic murmur in the apex. Also, electrocardiography was unremarkable. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic examinations revealed moderate to severe mitral regurgitation and an echo-free space (...
متن کاملGrowth of mitral annulus in the pediatric patient after suture annuloplasty of the entire posterior mitral annulus.
When mitral annuloplasty is performed in small children, room for annular growth should be allowed. However, it has not been reported how the valve develops after mitral annuloplasty of the entire posterior annulus. We report a case showing traces of annular growth at redo surgery. A female patient suffering from mitral valve insufficiency due to annular dilatation underwent modified Paneth pla...
متن کاملPosterior mitral annuloplasty for enhancing mitral leaflet coaptation: using a strip designed for placement in the posterior annulus.
BACKGROUND In patients with mitral valve regurgitation (MR), posterior mitral annuloplasty (PMA) was performed for mitral valve repair using a strip designed for placement in the posterior annulus, sparing the anterior annulus and anterior half of the commissures. METHODS Between September 2009 and October 2013, we performed PMA using a novel strip in 74 consecutive patients with MR greater t...
متن کاملMitral Annulus Calcification.
Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) is a chronic, degenerative process in the fibrous base of the mitral valve. Although MAC was initially thought to be an age-related degenerative process, there is accumulating evidence that other mechanisms, such as atherosclerosis and abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism, also contribute to the development of MAC. Despite its frequency, the clinical relevan...
متن کاملAblation of an idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia originating from the posterior mitral annulus in a toddler
Ablation of a mitral annulus (MA)-ventricular tachycardia (VT), a rare form of idiopathic left VT, has not yet been described in patients <2 years of age. We describe a case of a toddler with an incessant, poorly tolerated idiopathic VT (190 bpm) refractory to medical therapy, which was successfully ablated in the left ventricle at the infero-posterior part of the MA. Different diagnostic and a...
متن کاملFully automated software for mitral annulus evaluation in chronic mitral regurgitation by 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
Three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the gold standard for mitral valve (MV) anatomic and functional evaluation. Currently, dedicated MV analysis software has limitations for its use in clinical practice. Thus, we tested here a complete and reproducible evaluation of a new fully automatic software to characterize MV anatomy in different forms of mitral regurgitation ...
