Background The probability of prosthesis-patient mismatch(PPM)is high in aortic valve replacement surgery for small aortic valve annulus,which increases the postoperative prosthetic valve transvalvular pressure gradie...
Chronic ischemic mitral valve regurgitation is a result of disturbed left ventricular geometry secondary to myocardial ischemia in the absence of intrinsic mitral valve pathology. It is a common complication after myo...
Functional tricuspid regurgitation(TR)primarily arises from asymmetric dilation of the tricuspid annulus in the setting of right ventricular dysfunction and enlargement in response to left-sided myocardial and valvula...
Aim: To present the various echocardiographic spectrum of Ebstein’s mal-formation in adolescence and adults. Introduction: Ebstein’s anomaly has different anatomic and hemodynamic variables with clinical manifestati...
A 46-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to severe ischemic mitral regurgitation with severe bileaflet tethering and a dilated left ventricle. We performed left ventricular reconstruction and mitral valve an...
AIM To determine whether the need for additional tricuspid valve repair is an independent risk factor when surgery is required for a left-sided heart disease.METHODS One hundred and eighty patients(68 ± 12 years,79 m...
The develop percutaneous treatments for mitral regurgitation(MR)have been based on established surgical procedures.Most are based in some way on mitral annuloplasty.Indirect angioplasty utilizing coronary sinus and le...
Background: Functional tricuspid regurgitation is a challenge regarding indications for repair and proper surgical technique. Aim of the study: We reviewed our midterm results of tricuspid valve repair for functional ...
We report a case of supra-annular mitral valve replacement for a patient with prosthetic ring endocarditis that developed late after undergoing undersized mitral annuloplasty (UMAP). A 58-year-old man had undergone le...
The role of the coronary venous system was underestimated for many years.In the last 20 years,a few percutaneous cardiology techniques in which the anatomy of the coronary venous system was significant were developed ...
