Our multidisciplinary cardiovascular team collaborates on mitral valve repair, transcatheter technologies, mitral valve replacement, and follow-up treatment so patients can get all their care for ...
Division of Cardiovascular Sciences, The Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University, 115 Heart Drive, Room 3217, Greenville, NC 27834, USA Mitral valve repair provides superior preservation of ...
INTRODUCTION Severe functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (FIMR) considerably worsens the prognosis of patients after myocardial infarction. The complex pathomechanism of FIMR and its dynamic ...
Previous studies have shown that transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior to transthroracic echocardiography (TTE) when assessing the feasibility of mitral valve repair and predicting ...
Very early results with a minimally invasive chordal replacement procedure suggest that the beating-heart, echo-guided procedure may emerge as another option for treating degenerative mitral valve ...
Employing intravascular lithotripsy facilitated transcatheter mitral valve replacement in a patient with severe mitral annular and mitral valve leaflet calcification, according to a report on a ...
In patients undergoing aortic-valve or mitral-valve replacement, either a mechanical or biologic prosthesis is used. Biologic prostheses have been increasingly favored despite limited evidence ...
PARIS, France—Interventions for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation has advanced to the point where investigators are able to dive deeper into complicated clinical issues and learn from ...
Mitral valve disease occurs when the mitral valve doesn’t work properly, allowing blood to flow backward into the left atrium. As a result, your heart does not pump enough blood out of the left ...
Valvular heart disease is a form of heart disease that occurs when one or more of the heart’s four valves don’t function properly. Valve replacement surgery may be an option if the valves of your ...
The results of mitral valve repair for structural disease are durable and are generally accepted to be superior to mitral valve replacement. Following the early pioneering work of Carpentier, most ...
