OBJECTIVES Mitral and tricuspid ring annuloplasty dehiscence with consequent recurrent
valve regurgitation is a rare but challenging procedural failure. The incidence and …

Objective The objective of this study was to compare outcomes of re-repair with those of
mitral valve replacement (MVR) for failed initial mitral valve repair (MVr). Methods We …

Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to
conventional surgery in patients with primary and secondary mitral regurgitation, especially …

The indications for mitral valve repair extend across the entire spectrum of degenerative
mitral valve disease, ranging from fibroelastic degeneration to Barlow's disease …

The goals of mitral valve (MV) and tricuspid valve (TV) repair are to restore leaflet motion, to
increase leaflet coaptation and to stabilize the annulus with preservation of an adequate …

Reoperative valve surgery is being performed with increasing frequency in the last decades.
This is mainly due to the increasing use of bioprosthetic valves, a growing population of …

The rare incidence of mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by mitral valve prolapse in children
lacks clinical management experience. In this study, we present our experience in surgical …

OBJECTIVES The frequency of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MVS) has steadily
increased over the last decades and therefore surgeons are now encountering an …

Background Management of mitral regurgitation recurrence after failed surgical valve repair
with ring implantation is controversial. Aim To describe the French experience regarding …

Ring dehiscence is a serious complication after mitral valve annuloplasty, tending to occur
primarily from the posterior annulus. The tension on the ring sutures during the cardiac cycle …
