چکیده
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular prosthesis is cost-effective and easily available in developing countries.

OBJECTIVES This study examines the outcome of mitral valve repair with chordal replacement using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene over the past 25 years. METHODS From July 1988 to February 2013, 224 consecutive patients (mean age 57 years, 34% women) underwent mitral valve repair with chordal replacement using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures at our institution. Isolated anterior leaf...
متن کاملSystematic evaluation of the flexible and rigid annuloplasty ring after mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVES Mitral annulus reconstruction is now a common surgical procedure for the treatment of mitral regurgitation. However, there are still controversies in the selection of materials for annuloplasty in the clinical controlled studies available. The purpose of the present systematic review of the literature is to address whether a flexible ring is superior to a rigid ring in terms of impro...
متن کاملIs a flexible mitral annuloplasty ring superior to a semi-rigid or rigid ring in terms of improvement in symptoms and survival?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether, in patients with mitral regurgitation secondary to degenerative mitral valve disease requiring mitral valve repair with an annuloplasty ring, a flexible ring is superior to a semi-rigid or rigid ring in terms of improvement in symptoms and survival. Using the reported sea...
متن کاملMidterm results of tricuspid annuloplasty with a homemade PTFE flexible ring
Background/Introduction Tricuspid regurgitation is a serious valvulopathy with a significant impact on long term survival. Several techniques have been described to address it, including suture techniques and ring techniques. All have the same purposes of favoring leaflet cooptation, reducing the size of the tricuspid annulus and stabilize the reparation to preclude further re expansion and dil...
متن کاملPosterior pericardial annuloplasty: a physicological correction?
Since the introduction of the annuloplasty ring, many attempts have been made to obtain a flexible ring that preserves the physiological motion of the mitral annulus. We experimented with a new technique using autologous pericardium to construct a more flexible ring. Twenty patients underwent mitral valve repair for degenerative disease and were treated by a posterior pericardial annuloplasty a...
