A rare case of an aberrant anterior mitral valve chord resulting in severe mitral regurgitation
A 49 year old female presented with severe dyspnoea due to mitral regurgitation. Echocardiography revealed an aberrant mitral valve chord causing severe mitral regurgitation. The aberrant chord extended between the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AMVL) and the atrial septum causing AMVL prolapse. Resection of the aberrant chord and correction of the AMVL using synthetic Gore-Tex sutures was perf...
متن کاملRheumatoid Nodule Causing Perforation of Anterior Mitral Leaflet and Severe Mitral Regurgitation: A Rare Case Report
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disorder that is chronic in nature and difficult to treat. RA presents in many variants. Here we present an interesting case only seldom described before. Our patient presented to emergency room with acute shortness of breath and was seen to have acute pulmonary edema. Patient later had urgent echocardiography which revealed severe mitral regurgitation fr...
متن کاملMechanism of mitral regurgitation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: mismatch of posterior to anterior leaflet length and mobility.
BACKGROUND In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a spectrum of mitral leaflet abnormalities has been related to the mechanism of mitral systolic anterior motion (SAM), which causes both subaortic obstruction and mitral regurgitation. In the individual patient, SAM and regurgitation vary in parallel; clinically, however, great interindividual differences in mitral regurgitation can occur for comparabl...
متن کاملMitral regurgitation following mitral balloon valvotomy. Differing mechanisms for severe versus mild-to-moderate lesions.
BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate the incidence and mechanisms of mitral regurgitation following mitral balloon valvotomy (MBV) in 40 consecutive patients with symptomatic tight pliable mitral stenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Transthoracic echocardiography with color flow mapping was performed before and 24 hours after the procedure. Patients who developed significant mitral regurgi...
متن کاملAccessory mitral valve leaflet causing aortic regurgitation and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
Arrhythmias, aortic regurgitation, and symptoms of severe intermittent ventricular outflow obstruction developed in a 14 year old boy with a heart murmur who had been followed from infancy. These were caused by an accessory mitral leaflet, which was successfully removed at open heart operation. A review of21 previously reported cases found a high incidence ofassociated cardiac malformations, ap...
