Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis is uncommon and the diagnosis is often elusive and may be
confused with valve degeneration. We report our experience with mitral bioprosthetic valve …

Background It has been postulated that mitral valve repair in the elderly does not confer
short-term benefits over mitral valve replacement with complete preservation of the chordal …

Introduction In mitral valve replacement (MVR), sudden increases in afterload and disruption
of the annular‐chordal‐papillary‐left‐ventricular wall causes left ventricular (LV) dysfunction …

Background: Evaluation of left ventricular function after mitral valve surgery was always
debated. Evolution of new diagnostic techniques as cardiovascular magnetic resonance …

Objectives: The aim of this work is to evaluate left ventricular function after mitral valve
replacement with preservation of the chordopapillary apparatus whether partial or complete …

Background: It has been postulated that disruption of the mitral valve apparatus at the time of
mitral valve replacement (MVR) is a risk factor for postoperative ventricular dysfunction. The …

Objective: To systematically evaluate the postoperative cardiac function and complications
after mitral valve replacement with complete preservation of subvalvular apparatus versus …

В многочисленных исследованиях отмечено преимущество сохранения
непрерывности аннулопапиллярного контакта как в ближайшем послеоперационном …

Цель. Оценить непосредственные и отдаленные результаты использования методики
сохранения подклапанных структур при коррекции митральных пороков с применением …

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most frequent valvulopathy in the general population (up to
9.3% in the elderly). The main pathogenesis is “functional” and this is a negative prognostic …
