Repair of the mitral or aortic valve usually involves remodeling of the valve tissue to make it smaller or less redundant (valvular “plastic surgery”), and is most often reinforced with a synthetic ...

Background Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for degenerative mitral regurgitation, yet there is ...

In addition, before the development of prosthetic mitral-valve replacement, pure or predominant mitral regurgitation could not consistently be relieved by operation, and although it was clear that ...

Background Severe Mitral regurgitation (MR) due to mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is ideally treated with Mitral Valve Repair. Those patients with Bi-leaflet prolapse (BLP) are a challenging subgroup to ...

This minimally invasive method of mitral valve prosthesis replacement is rare worldwide and was performed on a 74-year-old patient at the Zhan Mitrev Clinic. The team, consisting of cardiac surgeons, ...

Based on the results from the MATTERHORN (A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Study to Assess Mitral Valve Reconstruction for Advanced Insufficiency of Functional or Ischemic Origin), transcatheter ...

The Simplici-T ® Annuloplasty System offers a first-of-its-kind approach to mitral and tricuspid valve repair. It is the first flexible band to eliminate the need for traditional sizing ...

However, there are key differences in the studies that make a 1:1 comparison difficult. For one, the patients in the RESHAPE-HF2 trial had less severe mitral valve regurgitation than did those in the ...

Surgery is recommended upon dysfunction of the mitral valve with important stenosis or insufficiency, embolic events or when other types of tumors cannot be excluded regardless of the imaging method ...

The repeat-focused echocardiogram to evaluate the cause of PH revealed a subtle membrane proximal to the mitral valve annulus, indicating a suspected supravalvular mitral ring (figure 2). A mean ...
