Assessment of Mitral Paravalvular Leakage After Mitral Valve Replacement Using Cardiac Computed Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paravalvular leakage (PVL) is uncommon but potentially serious complication after valve replacement, which occurs 7% to 17% after mitral valve replacement (MVR) and 2% to 10% after aortic valve replacement. Although most PVLs are asymptomatic and have a benign clinical course, an estimated 1% to 5% of patients with PVLs show serious clinical consequences, with especially more undesirable outcomes being observed in mitral PVL with higher reoperation rates.

Assessment of Mitral Paravalvular Leakage After Mitral Valve Replacement Using Cardiac Computed Tomography: Comparison With Surgical Findings.
BACKGROUND The diagnostic performance of cardiac computed tomography (CT) for detection of paravalvular leakage (PVL) after mitral valve replacement has not been investigated in a large population. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of CT for diagnosis of mitral PVL using surgical findings as the standard reference and to compare the diagnostic performance of CT with those of trans...
متن کاملAN INNOVATIVE SURGIC AL TECHNIQUE FOR CONTINUOUS SUTURING OF PROSTHESIS IN MITR AL VALVE REPL A CEMENT
Mitral valve replacement (MVR) is usually performed in two methods of running and interrupted suturing. In running method, the suturing of the valve is usually with some traction on the annulus and also there is a risk of aortic valve injury. This study was conducted to evaluate a new technique for suturing to avoid these complications and decrease the time of cardiac arrest. One hundred an...
متن کاملUnilateral pulmonary edema caused by paravalvular leakage recognized by bedside transesophageal echocardiography.
We describe a case of acute unilateral left pulmonary edema occuring in an old man one year after mitral valve replacement. Transesophageal echocardiography identified a paravalvular leakage with severe mitral regurgitant jet directed to both left pulmonary veins. A prompt surgical closure of the leakage by pericardial patch was decided with rapid clinical and radiological improvement.
متن کاملMultiple paravalvular leak 17 years after a second mitral valve replacement
Paravalvular leak (PVL) after prosthetic valve implantation is a significant complication and it usually occurs early in the postoperative period. We report a case of multiple PVL 17 years after the second mitral valve replacement without evidence of infection. The valve sutures were neither cut nor loosened. None of the sewing cuff of the mitral valve was covered with fibrous tissue. The sewin...

A 76-year-old woman with degenerative mitral valve disease was referred for refractory heart failure. An echocardiogram showed the presence of a massive mitral annular calcification with severe stenosis (mitral valve area, 1.0 cm; mean gradient, 11 mm Hg) and a small left ventricular cavity with a 23-mm septal bulge without obstruction (Figures 1A to 1C, Online Video 1). Computed tomography (CT...
