2024年4月16日 · Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement may be done as an open-heart surgery or as a minimally invasive surgery. The method used depends on how severe the mitral valve disease is and if it's getting worse. Surgeons usually recommend mitral valve repair instead of replacement, when possible.

2007年6月19日 · In an attempt to close some of our gaps in knowledge and familiarity, the editors of Heart Valve Disease: A Guide to Patient Management After Surgery, have assembled a team of European and American experts to produce a text of broad scope and solid depth.

One of the dreaded mechanical complications of mitral valve replacement (MVR) is rupture of the left ventricle (LV). This report describes the early diagnosis and successful repair of rupture of posterior wall of LV in an elderly patient who underwent MVR. We have discussed the risk factors and perioperative issues implicated in such complication.

Mitral valve repair (MVr) is recognized as the gold standard for degenerative mitral regurgitation. Compared to mitral valve replacement, repair results in improved survival, better preservation of postoperative left ventricular function and avoidance of the need for long-term anticoagulation treatment [ 1 , 2 ].

Rupture of the left ventricle post mitral valve replacement (MVR) is an infrequent but highly lethal complication. Early diagnosis, resumption of CPB, proper exposure and complete repair of the tear is necessary to have a better outcome.

2007年3月20日 · In this issue of Circulation, Magne et al 9 investigate the impact of PPM on survival after MVR. The authors hypothesize that the effective orifice area (EOA) of prosthetic valves is often small relative to the patient’s size, thus causing a mismatch between valve EOA and flow across the valve.

Background Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for degenerative mitral regurgitation, yet there is ongoing controversy regarding optimal anti-thrombotic therapy post-MVr. This scoping review aimed to summarise current evidence on the safety and efficacy of anti-thrombotic therapy after MVr, identify knowledge gaps and ...

2020年12月9日 · In most people, recovery ranges from 4 to 8 weeks. After surgery, you’ll be closely monitored for a few days in the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU). You can receive pain medication to alleviate discomfort from the incision and other pains you may have in your chest or upper body because of the operation.

Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) use post surgical mitral valve repair (MVr) demonstrated conflicting benefits in observational studies at reducing thromboembolic events among patients without atrial fibrillation (AF), which precluded strong guidelines recommendations on VKA use.

2005年8月15日 · Previous European guidelines on management of patients after valve surgery were last published in 1995 and were limited to recommendations about antithrombotic prophylaxis. 1 American guidelines covering the broader topic of the investigation and treatment of patients with valve disease were published in 1998 but devoted relatively little space ...
