Extensive mitral annular calcification remains a technical challenge in mitral valve surgery.

The importance of demonstrating associated valvular lesions, particularly mitral stenosis, is emphasized.

Objective: We sought to evaluate mitral valve repair for anterior leaflet perforation.

After the mitral valve procedure is performed, the left appendage is sutured.

The presence of mitral stenosis was confirmed at catheterization in all patients.

Doc notices the prewar mitral valve and the good old right ventricle.

Under general anaesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass, healthy adult sheep had mitral annuloplasty.

We repaired the mitral valve in a patient with severe porcelain aorta.

Transthoracic echocardiograms showed acute-starting severe mitral regurgitation associated with prosthetic mitral valve.

The patient underwent surgical repair of both the aortic and mitral valves.

There was a mild coronary atheroma and slight mitral valve edge thickening.

The mechanism for recurrent mitral regurgitation was largely mitral valve leaflet tethering.

The MRSV by MRI was calculated from mitral inflow minus aortic outflow.

Females also show a greater frequency to mitral stenosis than do males.

Results: Dilatation at the mitral orifice was achieved in all cases.

Transcatheter interventions for mitral regurgitation continue to undergo development and testing.
