...Liang Ma; Zipu Yu; Christoph Huber; Chengchen Li; Linfeng Qian; Jianjie Jiang; Yu Zou Objectives: To validate a self-expanding transcatheter valve for off-pump transatrial mitral valve-in-ring (VIR) implantation via a left thoracotomy. Methods: Mitral valve annuloplasty was performed via sternotomy...

...Guo-Hua Luo; Wei-Guo Ma; Han-Song Sun; Shi-Wei Pan; Zhi-Xiong Huang; Hong-Yue Wang; Xiao-Dong Zhu Objective: Primary mitral valve (MV) tumor is a rare lesion, and to date, there have been few larger surgical series of MV tumors. We retrospectively analyzed 11 cases of primary MV tumors regarding...

...-CT included coronary artery disease (n = 4), mitral valve disease (n = 18), suspected arterial embolism (n = 19), masses (n = 8), congenital malformation (n = 10), postcardiac surgery (n = 8), aortic aneurysm (n = 1) and suspected left-to-right shunt (n = 1). Conventional transesophageal...

...Joseph Joy; C.C. Kartha; K.G. Balakrishnan Mitral valve (MV) specimens obtained at operation from 50 patients with ostium secundum atrial septal defect and associated MV dysfunction were studied macro- and microscopically to evaluate the structural lesions. The functional abnormalities...

...% confidence limits in the control group were used as cut-off point values. Sensitivities thus attained were 91% for mitral valve E point-septal separation (EPSS), 73% for left ventricular (LV) fractional shortening (FS), and 64% for peak rate of increase of LV diameter (PLR), respectively...

...P.A.N. Chandraratna Phonocardiography was performed in 74 patients with mitral valve prolapse. 24 patients had early systolic clicks ( < 80 msec from S 1 ). Four of them had associated systolic murmurs. 30 patients had mid or late systolic clicks ( > 80 msec from S 1 ). A systolic murmur...

...Mallikajun Udoshi; Anilkumar Shah; Vincent J. Fisher; Martin Dolgin Abnormal systolic anterior (SAM) motion of the mitral valve without asymmetric hypertrophy of the interventricular septum was observed in 16 patients (group 1). 5 of the 16 patients had no other evidence of heart disease...

... valve area increased significantly in both groups immediately after the procedures. However, a decrease in mitral valve area occurred in both groups at 6, 12 and 24 months during the follow-up. There was no death in either group. Two patients had significant mitral regurgitation after percutaneous...
